none of the things that he said uh
automatically follow as a consequence of
leaving the arasmus scheme does not just
involve people from the European Union
and there's absolutely no reason why
people in Britain should not continue to
participate in it unless you think that
because we've left the European Union
nobody else in Europe never mind the
world is going to want to come and study
our universities this is uh a non Secor
secondly it's true that you can go and
live and work in 27 other European
countries soon to be uh rather more than
that but the coroller of that is they
all have the right therefore to come and
live and work here
now I believe in controlled
immigration because I see myself as a
part of the British labor movement the
British workers movement and the only
loser from absolute freedom of movement
of Labor is the workers that are already
there whatever color they are wherever
they came from and whenever they came
you see there's a lot of people around
here around this area benefit greatly
from the very large presence of Migrant
labor here they get cheap old pairs
they get cheap uh uh labor in
restaurants they get cheap service in
the service Industries they get a top
class socialist educated polish plumber
electrician Joiner brick layer and so on
the middle class are all right thank you
very much Jack from that kind of of a
system but the
workers the working class see their
wages driven down their standards
cut and their unemployment
rising and it was pointed out by Tom
that if we have an economic recession
here we can always go there but of
course there is an economic Basket Case
that's why so many of them have come
here he painted a picture of this 500
million block of successful Economist he
obviously hasn't looked much beyond the
precincts of the Commission in
Brussels Italy Greece forgive me Tom you
had to cheat to pray Sara in Aid the
Greek government was crushed by the
European Union its people's faces ground
into the Dust by the European Union half
half of all the children in Greece are
officially hungry
you said that Portugal has a leftwing
government it does it's just been
threatened with sanctions by the
European Union unless it reforms its
economy in other words privatizes still
more of it and swallows still more of
the neoliberal economics which is
written into the constitution of the
European Union you're not going to stop
being European because you leave the
European Union I have a house in
Portugal I'll still have it whether
we're in the European Union or not and
trust me the Portuguese ain't going to
ask me for a Visa they're not not every
European worker that works here is going
to leave and not every British worker
that works there is going to return this
attempt to paint this as Apocalypse Now
is nothing more than project
fear it's an intent to frighten you that
you'll be stuck here as Tom put it you
won't be able to go to the other
countries won't be able to study in the
other countries it's all
nonsense thank you very much I've been
campaigning against NATO all of my adult
life I'm against any entanglements that
are unaccountable
undemocratic and detrimental to the
interests
of the people of this country NATO the
IMF the WTO all are now you raise an
issue that I omitted implicitly you do I
omitted to deal with and that's
ttip the transatlantic trade and
investment partnership is an existential
threat to everything that we hold dear
in this country from the National Health
Service
onwards it is being negotiated in
secret by the European Union and the
United States of America if it passes it
will mean that any American
corporation can bid to take over this
college and if it is not given the
contract can sue the college the local
Authority the British government for an
unlimited amount of money a case which
would be heard in a
private Court outside of the British
legal system if I give you just one
example you want more could go to my
Facebook page uh because I gave a speech
on it uh on a rooftop just a couple of
days ago and it's up there now if the
British government did as it should
force cocacola to take sugar out of
their product Coca-Cola could sue the
British government even though the
British government had had been elected
on a platform of forcing Coca-Cola to
take sugar out of their product
Coca-Cola could sue the British
government for billions of dollars in
lost profits ttip is a threat to the
very existence of civilized society in
Britain and in any other country uh that
it's uh that it's uh concluded with we
have a much better chance of stopping
ttip in Britain than we do
across the European Union as a whole Tom
LED you to believe there was a Social
Democratic consensus in the European
Union in fact 18 out of 28 of the
European Union governments are
right-wing governments and the other
countries waiting in line to join the
European Union
including the fascist government in
Turkey which is massacring its Kurdish
population as we speak which is openly
operating in League with Isis in Syria
which is a threat to the entire region
has just been given accelerated access
to uh talks with the European Union and
are to be allowed Visa free travel in
the European Union not Britain because
we're not in the shenen uh from next
year now some people were attacked for
raising this point the other day people
on the right so let me from the left
make it clear turkey is a clear and
present danger to the European Society
not because it's Muslim hardly not
because it's Turkish hardly but because
its regime presides over a system which
is openly involved in manipulating the
flow of
refugees in assisting Isis in their
Global terrorist operation and
massacring thousands of Kurdish people
every year we should shun the regime in
Turkey instead we're preparing to bring
them into the European
Union you can't reform it Tom keeps
saying that but you can't it is in the
Constitution of the European Union that
even KES that dangerous bulvik KES whose
Economic Policy dug Britain and the
United States out of the Great Recession
in the 1930s is illegal under the
European uh Constitution you are not
allowed to run the level of current
account deficit in your economy that you
think is necessary to Kickstart your
economy and get it mov moving again you
are not allowed to
maintain uh the ratio of debt to GDP
that you think is necessary you are not
allowed to save your steel industry
because it is a nationally strategic
asset for you and tens scores of
thousands of people will be thrown out
of work if you don't save it because
that is intervention in free market
capitalism which is illegal under the
European Union uh rules we're about to
in Europe transfer the Richard Branson
School of how to run a railroad to the
rest of Europe because the rest of
Europe has been found by the EU to be
intervening in their public transport
and Railway beyond the limits that are
allowed in the EU so everyone who's ever
traveled on a French publicly owned
Railway knows how Superior it is to ours
but our model which is a perfectly free
market capitalist model except for the
subsidy that the taxpayer gives Richard
Branson and Co which by the way is
triple the subsidy we used to give
British Rail when we owned it we give
three times as much to Branson that's
the model that's going to be imposed uh
on railways acoss across Europe so you
know it doesn't
compute that somehow this is a
jobs uh banza for us as anybody not just
here in London though it's easier here
in
London but anybody out in the country
watching this now on film anyone in the
Midlands in the North in Scotland in
Wales
knows wages have been driven down job
opportunities have been driven down
Trade union organization has been
wrecked by free movement of Labor and
frankly not that much labor has come but
it
could I mean I'm not trying to frighten
you cuz I really like Romanians I'm the
only man in this room who's written a
book published in the Romanian language
I love Romanians Jer I love Romanians
but every single worker in
Romania could decide to come and live
and work
here all 25 million of them this is
madness this is a capitalists wet
dream this is what capitalists dream of
that they can get so much labor that no
one dare join a union no one dare ask
for a wage increase
and the employer can employ for
whatsoever he likes because there's
another big queue of people out there
waiting for the work I'm telling you if
you like the way things are vote remain
if you think things could and must be
better vote leave
