Outrage as new European Union immigration guide helps migrants claim British benefits. The taxpayer-funded document – free on the internet – was published yesterday as the “first comprehensive guide” to border and immigration rules across the EU. Tim Aker, of the anti-Brussels campaign group Get Britain Out, said: “This booklet is a disgrace. We are facing cuts and yet the EU gives EU migrants a handbook on how to settle in the UK and claim from the welfare state according to human rights and EU legislation. It’s not on. Nigel Farage, leader of UKIP, said: “The publication of this guide at this time is a predictably cloth-eared act by the European Union. It will act as a further encouragement to those who wish to come to the UK from [non-EU] countries, and more importantly will be used as a guide by those wishing not to be deported from the UK after arrival.
