ANOTHER 39 DAYS TO THE GENERAL ELECTION


Jean Romsey

It’s no surprise to find David Cameron not considering a third term even if he were voted back in office in May.  It’s not easy to stand by George Osborne’s final Budget that’s cunningly constructed just to win back Tory voters, and is based on keeping annual net immigration well above 100,000, which mocks the PM’s promise made in 2010 to keep net migration within “tens of thousands”. He showed no sign of regret as he made new promises  to reform the EU and hold a referendum in 2017, fully aware that our membership of the EU is the root cause of so many hardship for lower income families, all the benefits are reaped by just 1% of the rich and MEPs. 

All three established Parties have no plans to exit the EU, knowing full well EU leaders are too inflexible to consider any reform, especially for Britain.  Most voters know how adamant the EU leaders are in keeping the UK under strict control with thousands of regulations and by-laws, about 75-80% of UK laws come from Brussels, restricting our global trade, closing hundreds of Post Offices; VAT, Fuel tax, policing, farming and open border immigration, are all controlled by the EU, leaving the PM time to squabble with Ed. 
This government told us only 27,700 arrived from Romania and Bulgaria at the beginning of last year, but they made no mention of the 187,370 who arrived later in 2014, an increase of 576%, all were given (NI) National Insurance number to register for work, state benefits and tax credits. The Department for Work and Pensions revealed that the Romanians and Bulgarians (215,070) accounted for a quarter of new NI numbers given to foreign migrants.  That's a whopping influx of nearly a million workers!


To add such high numbers of extra workers in one year to any nation is unsustainable; and together with their spouses and children this number would overwhelm any country, but in the confined space of UK's islands it's totally wrong for any government to punish their people with this kind of overcrowding.  That's an unprecedented strain on all our infrastructure!  Yet, the government blamed the chaos of overstretched A&E and hospital closure on the few elderly pensioners who have lost their beds in care homes. 


Many care homes were closed by the government without first replacing them, or putting in place a system (carers or home-care) prior to closing them down.  This Coalition government has failed to protect the NHS to deliver at the time of need, many residents incurred high parking fees for lengthy wait or being turned away. The PM pledging £2 billion during the chaos to fund the NHS does not solve the problem in an instant.  Sticking plaster on chaos never worked, more nurses and doctors had to be trained before the influx, in the same way that all essential services like police, army or border require training time to ensure the smooth running of the country. 


Surely the Home Office of this Coalition knew and expected this influx of migrants since Romania and Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007, having experienced the exodus of Poles arriving in the UK, the government has had five years to be prepared or should have taken the EU to task for an unsustainable policy.  After all the UK pays dearly (£11.3 billion) for the privilege of our expensive membership.  There was no reason why the NHS was so over-stretched and running on a deficit of £500million, with doctors’ surgeries scheduling appointments for over a week or two. 


A million new workers, many speaking no English, must adversely impact on all other services like housing, schools, roads and transport, and placing an unfair competition for Britain's unemployed and those recently-redundant by the Chancellor’s austerity measures on police, prison, border, military and local council workers.
Britain is now the second most crowded country in Europe, with another six countries waiting to join the EU, Britain is a soft touch for all EU member states and it's not fair on our taxpayers and pensioners who have paid into the system, to be plundered by government and foreign migrants, robbing them of their birth right. 


The UK Independence Party is the only party with policies that can counteract the EU’s ambitious federalism.  UKIP members come from all walks of British industry and commerce, with intelligence to make UKIP policies work towards a Great Britain, regaining control of our borders, a sovereign country in our own right, making our own laws for our own people.
If you want to see change for the better, then VOTE for UKIP in May. 


To see the UK Independence Party's policies on Apprenticeship Qualification in education; reduction of national debt for our grandchildren; repairing the economy, starting with the increase of personal tax-free allowance to £13,000; reduce Foreign Aid by £9 billion; scrap wind farm and solar arrays subsidies; take back control of our agricultural and fishery policies by reinstating  British territorial waters; and many more on NHS and support for Defence and military care.  Visit: www.ukip.org/Policies_for_People
