There is no way we could have said STOP!, our hands were tied by the EU stating we must allow freedom of movement!! The yellow -bellied, liberal former governments we had wouldn't do a single thing about it because their sole aim was to rid Britain of its own identity. They had as good as given Britain away to the EU in all but name.
No-one can blame migrants for wanting a better life for themselves and their families over here, especially when they saw the lure New Labour put out. We put out the welcome mat, but as well as those willing to work hard, we also invited in Beggars, Thieves, Criminals and those intent on doing their utmost to use and abuse our Health, Benefit and Housing systems. No other country would have acted so irresponsibly as this one did. They didn't have one pair between them and used the EU rules as an excuse as millions poured in. So I blame them both!.
Hi
Well a few things.
Number one, more Non Eu Immigrants than EU Immigrants.
Secondly, Blair did not use the EU Rules to prevent the influx from Eastern Europe, others, including Germany and France did.
Thirdly, look at France, an economy as large as the UK, but with a tenth of the number of EU Immigrants every year.
Subject to exactly the same EU Rules as the UK, but without the same numbers arriving.
Why?
Could it be our Benefits System is so ludicrous that new immigrants can take more out of the system than they have paid in ?
It doesnt happen anywhere else in the EU, but it happens here.
Next, in every other EU Country they charge EU Workers for Healthcare.
We are unique, we do not, a decision which costs us billions.
Last, but by no means least, is our Taxation System.
Take Poland for example.
You can earn £10,000 in the UK Tax free, in Poland you can earn £2,000. then you pay 18% tax, plus 22% for Pension, Health Insurance and Unemployment Benefit.
A massive difference.
It is no wonder we are flooded out.
