"Mr President, Mr Barroso has spoken of sustainable growth. In fact, we have seen negative growth. He spoke of increasing the proportion of people in employment, whereas that proportion has fallen. He speaks of increasing the competitiveness of European goods and services. However, the EU, like each of its Member States, is embracing globalism and voluntarily accepting a deluge of cheap goods that are emerging from low-wage countries in the third world. The only way in which we can compete with such countries is to drive down our wage rates to their levels. Just in case our employers and employees are not getting the message, we are filling up our countries with third-world workers who are turning large areas of our countries into parts of the third world with below-minimum wage rates and unsatisfactory working conditions. We are making workers in the commercial services sector redundant and outsourcing their jobs to the third world. The individual nation states of Europe, and the European Union on behalf of the continent as a whole, are committing identity, and economic, suicide."@en1
