A halt to EU immigration has been called for by Mike Nattrass, UKIP parliamentary candidate for Crewe and Nantwich.
“If we need workers here UKIP policy is that they must apply for work permits. There are 60 million people in the country already and the EU open borders policy is over-stretching our hospitals, schools, roads and housing.”
“This has nothing to do with race, it has everything to do with space,” said Mike addressing a crowded public meeting at the Crewe Arms Hotel, Crewe, Monday night.
Mike told the audience, “The other three parties are in denial.”
“Any debate mentioning immigration and they focus outside the EU. They don’t want to tell the electorate that residents of 27 countries are able to freely move in any direction they wish.”
Crewe has many Polish immigrants and Mike pointed out that he has nothing against Poles “but we don’t need millions of them. Poland is being stripped of useful people and is having to import people from the Ukraine and China.
“We cannot plan our own economy any more because we don’t know how many people are coming over the border and the EU is constantly expanding.”
He also pointed out that 75% of our laws are made in Brussels. Westminster is being stripped of power “and it might as well be turned into an ASDA”.
Also speaking at the lively meeting was UKIP MP Bob Spink who urged residents of the constituency to vote for Mike to bring the Party’s presence at Westminster to four.
Bob, who is recognised as one of the hardest working members of parliament, praised the late MP Gwyneth Dunwoody, with whom he had agreed on many topics, and a minute of silence was observed in her memory.
He told the audience that if Britain was not in the EU it would have billions to spend next year which could be used on hospitals, defence, lower taxes etc.
Outlining UKIPs raft of polices Bob Spink, who travelled up from Westminster specially to attend the meeting, said these include a flat tax, which would remove 4.5 million people from taxation altogether, bringing back hospital matrons, more bobbies on the beat and the repeal of the Human Rights Act.
