"Mr President, the influx of workers into the UK must be controlled by the UK Government. It is a simple matter of sovereignty. Britain already has a housing shortage. Hospitals and schools are not coping with the ever-growing immigrant population. Britain must protect its own citizens who have paid their taxes and built the country.
The massive influx of immigrants produces an oversupply, adding to the unemployment problem, reducing job availability and reducing pay for working people. And yet, here we are facing yet more rules. These rules take control away from UK authorities, making management of the infrastructure impossible. Britain has not discriminated against foreign workers, and those willing to integrate with the existing population have been accepted, but now enough is enough.
You say the free movement of workers is a fundamental freedom of EU citizens, a cornerstone of the internal market. I say a fundamental right of the UK is to roll away this stone and gain independence from Europe. We need our independence now. Sadly, a great British trade unionist and defender of working people, Bob Crow, died today. I wish the Left would embrace his views in this debate."@en1
