ITV NEWS A leading Czech politician has criticised David Cameron’s tough new plans to block EU migrants from claiming benefits for four years, by highlighting the contribution Czech citizens made to the British military during World War Two.
Tomas Prouza, the Czech State Secretary for European Affairs, tweeted a picture of a group Czech fighter pilots at rest in front of a Hurricane fighter during the Battle of Britain and asked if the men would get benefits, despite only working in the UK for less than four years.
The slightly-tongue-in-cheek comment serves as an example of the opposition Mr Cameron will face from other EU members should he continue with his plans to differentiate between British and member-state citizens.
During WW2, around 90 airmen from Czechoslovakia fought in the Royal Air Force from the height of the Battle of Britian, chiefly in No. 310 and No. 312 (Czechoslovak) Squadrons.
