UKIP candidate hits out on immigration

UKIP'S parliamentary candidate for the Crewe and Natwich by-election has called for a halt to EU immigration.

Addressing a public meeting at the Crewe Arms Hotel on Monday, candidate Mike Nattrass said: "If we need workers here, UKIP policy is that they must apply for work permits.

"There are 60million people here already and the EU open borders policy is over-stretching our hospitals, schools, roads and housing.

"This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with space.

"The other three parties are in denial.

"Any debate mentioning immigration and they don't tell the electorate that because of the EU people from 26 countries are able to freely come here."

Mr Nattrass said that he liked Poles, thousands of who have come to live in Crewe and Nantwich over the past few years.

He added: "But we don't need millions of them. Poland is being stripped and is having to import people from the Ukraine and China.

"We cannot plan our economy because we don't know how many are coming over the border and the EU is constantly expanding."

He said 75% of our laws are made in Brussels while Westminster is being stripped of power.

Also speaking at the meeting was UKIP's MP Bob Spink who urged the constituency to vote for Mike to bring UKIP's presence at Westminster to four.

He said that if Britain was not in the EU it would have billions to spend which could be used locally on services. Outlining UKIP's raft of polices he said these included 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.
