lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this latest budget builds upon the work which went before it, carefully and methodically laying more paving slabs. The problem is that it is the road to hell which is being paved. I could respond in one of two ways to the current proposal. I could tinker around the edges and talk about space programmes or ridiculous political propaganda, issues which could be better done at national level than European level. There are so many things I could talk about. But I think, perhaps, it is better to respond in the other way and to actually address the elephant in the room – the extra EUR 1.5 billion for dealing with the migration crisis, frontloaded over the next couple of years, and which actually may well end up kicking the can down the line to a future budget at a time when resources are going to be even more stretched and creating more problems for the European Union. We are spending this money and it is leaving all sorts of contortions in other areas; we are spending it on a policy which fundamentally misunderstands the current crisis. It is a global problem which we are treating as a European problem. We warned back in April that a Commission change of policy would lead to the mass migration of people. And guess what? It has led to the mass movement of people. It has led to people trafficking, it has led to migrant deaths, and it has caused the problems in the Schengen area and security issues. Instead of bringing people ever closer, it is dividing still further. It is a policy which purports to be humane but actually leaves millions of the most vulnerable – the elderly, women and children – in refugee camps. Other countries are failing to follow Britain’s lead in helping in those camps in countries like Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Frankly, even Britain should be doing more. Finally, let us remember this: you cannot have without ."@en1
