More likely the worry that if Spain fails ( or God forbid Italy or even France) hordes of EU passport wavers could start arriving in the UK looking for work and benefits

We are in dangerous times......

Already happening. Overtaking the Poles, Albanians & Romanians as we speak. UK could do with a few more Italian, Spannish and French restaurants though. Pissed off with Kebabs and Chinese takeaways.

And that will shake things up a fair bit. The rest of the EU idiots will have to rethink their position given that Hollande isn't a big fan of austerity measures.

Add to that Le Pens gain in votes and the situation gets very interesting.
