lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I think we can all agree that the migration crisis last year was probably the single biggest catastrophe to hit the European Union in its history. In fact, I would go as far as to say that it has put the very existence of this project in jeopardy. What is amazing is that the EU’s own actions helped cause the problem in the first place. When Chancellor Merkel and the Swedish Government committed the equivalent of cultural suicide and invited everyone who had a Syrian passport to come to the continent, it was obvious to all of us what was going to happen. People would attempt to come in their droves, people would die in the seas, there would be migrant camps overflowing, Member State would be pitted against Member State, the Schengen Agreement would collapse, and it would be a golden opportunity for the Islamic fundamentalists to bring carnage to our continent. It was also obvious that there would need to be U—turns, as we have seen performed in the past couple of months by both the German and the Swedish Governments. Now we are facing an even bigger crisis. The numbers coming this year to Europe will no doubt dwarf those of last year. We are facing a summer where the movement of people from the Middle East and North Africa will no doubt reach biblical proportions. What is the European Union offering to solve this problem? The answer is more of the same: more concessions, more EU, more money, more misery, not only for the migrants but for many of its own citizens. We have to put a stop to this madness, and the answer is not making the same mistakes over and over again: it is restoring proper border controls, just as the Australians have done for the past five years. However, for the UK to achieve this goal, we must vote to leave this organisation in the up-and-coming referendum."@en1
