Keith, the EU is a prosperous country, there is no unemployment or poverty in Romania and Bulgaria, or in Britain.
It's all in your head.
We need a few million more people to come here and work, as we have millions of vacant jobs.
And we need their extended families to come here to, as rent is far too low here, we have an abundance of empty houses, and this way, hopefully, rent and house prices will finally go up.
It's healthy for the economy, you know!
Bulgarians and Romanians will be queuing up in front of Costa's to drink coffee and eat cake during their work break, it will do our economy good....vote Labour!

Also, if we build a few million more houses, it will keep the GDP above 0, preferably at 1.2 - 1.9%.
If the GDP is travelling at these levels, it means we have avoided economic stagnation and recession.
This is how modern Whitehall economics are calculated, by the way. No joke!
As for the rise in house prices coming from higher demand, it keeps the cost of stamp duty up, which means more tax revenue for the Treasury. Higher rent resulting from increased demand for accommodation is also healthy, as all landlords pay tax on their rent. So more tax going to the Treasury.
This is why we need to stay in the EU, we need a few million more people to come here, with their families, from Eastern Europe.
They work hard, pay tax on their income.
We don't need to preserve farm and woodland in Kent, as we can import apples from China, which are cheaper, so it is better to build and build and just keep building.
As we will need to build more schools and clinics for a few million more settlers, this will create even more jobs: nurses, teachers and bricklayers. These will come from Bulgaria and Romania, as we are currently running out of Poles.
If they don't come, this big employment opportunity will be lost.
Vote Labour!

Never mind the carbon footprint:
In China, the bees are dead in large areas where apples are grown for export to the West. Died of chemical spraying.
Dead bees don't count, the war is over for them.
But long transport journeys of apples from China and abattoir leftovers from Poland for cheap filler meals for English people mean more oil consumption. Government collects tax on petrol, so more revenue for the treasury.
Never mind if the lorry drivers purchase all their petrol in Europe before embarking at Calais, money goes to EU - after all we're all in this together!

And Keith the UK will resist it.
Saw Farage in Westminster last week. Wondered what he was doing there thought he was elected to Brussels. He was doing an interview with the BBC -fag discreetly down at his side for a head & shoulders shot.
So should we expect our MEP for the South East to be working in Brussels or Strasbourg to look after our interests or lurking around Westminster electioneering?
Afterall London is not even his constituency.
Seems he is representing his own interests not the electorates.

What a strange thing to say Paul, surely if he is being interviewed on TV the location is irrelevant.
I'm sure he'll be judged on what he says and does, not where he says it.

mr farage has been given things to do, committees to be on in the european parliament and has failed to do them instead preferring to bash the institution.

Yes, David the location is irrelevant, he could easily have been interviewed in Brussels or Strasbourg the BBC have the studios & facilities.
The point is that he was in Westminster [he's not an MP] not Brussels where his workplace should be [as an MEP], representing the South East,for which he is handsomely paid with massive expenses.
