Farage On New Waves Of Immigration.

UKIP Leader Nigel Farage MEP slams uncontrolled immigration in Daily Star

UKIP Leader Nigel Farage MEP has been quoted in a Daily Star article which claims that Britain is set to be ‘swamped’ by a wave of immigration from Eastern Europe. Nigel was quoted as saying: “The opening of the doors to 29 million Romanians and Bulgarians is going to become a huge issue. If I was a Bulgarian, I would be packing now, because 46% of that country is now living in poverty. Not relative poverty – Mr Cameron’s concept of poverty is that you haven’t got two four-wheel-drives – but genuine poverty.” The Daily Star reminded readers that Labour predicted only 15,000 Poles would come to Britain after Poland joined the EU in 2004, but they got the numbers badly wrong, and more than 600,000 immigrants from Poland have since taken up residence here.
