1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,680 none of the things that he said uh 2 00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:09,840 automatically follow as a consequence of 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:12,880 leaving the arasmus scheme does not just 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:15,719 involve people from the European Union 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,240 and there's absolutely no reason why 6 00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:21,039 people in Britain should not continue to 7 00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:23,279 participate in it unless you think that 8 00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:25,439 because we've left the European Union 9 00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:27,480 nobody else in Europe never mind the 10 00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:32,360 world is going to want to come and study 11 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:34,520 our universities this is uh a non Secor 12 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:38,399 secondly it's true that you can go and 13 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:41,559 live and work in 27 other European 14 00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:44,079 countries soon to be uh rather more than 15 00:00:41,559 --> 00:00:47,000 that but the coroller of that is they 16 00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:49,680 all have the right therefore to come and 17 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,719 live and work here 18 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:57,320 now I believe in controlled 19 00:00:53,719 --> 00:01:00,399 immigration because I see myself as a 20 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:04,119 part of the British labor movement the 21 00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:07,680 British workers movement and the only 22 00:01:04,119 --> 00:01:11,000 loser from absolute freedom of movement 23 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,920 of Labor

00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:33,520 labor here they get cheap old pairs 30 00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:37,040 they get cheap uh uh labor in 31 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:39,479 restaurants they get cheap service in

system but the 38 00:01:56,759 --> 00:02:03,799 workers the working class see their 39 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:07,440 wages driven down their standards 40 00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:11,480 cut and their unemployment 41 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:13,480 rising and it was pointed out by Tom 42 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,480 that if we have an economic recession 43 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:20,480 here we can always go there but of 44 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:24,239 course there is an economic Basket Case 45 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:27,959 that's why so many of them have come 46 00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:31,800

unless it reforms its 61 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:18,239 economy in other words privatizes still 62 00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:20,560 more of it and swallows still more of 63 00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:23,159 the neoliberal economics which is 64 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,760 written into the constitution of the 65 00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:28,360 European Union you're not going to stop 66 00:03:25,760 -->

--> 00:04:30,360 undemocratic and detrimental to the 87 00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:33,039 interests 88 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:39,000 of the people of this country NATO the 89 00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:42,000

00:04:49,960 ttip the transatlantic trade and 93 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:54,160 investment partnership is an existential 94 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:56,320 threat to everything that we hold dear 95 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,919 in this country from the National Health 96 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:02,120 Service 97 00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:05,280 onwards it is being negotiated in 98 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:08,440 secret by the European Union and the 99 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:11,520 United States of America if it passes it 100 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:14,960 will mean that any American 101 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:18,840 corporation can bid to take over this 102 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:22,600 college and if it is not given the 103 00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:25,360 contract can sue the college

heard in a 107 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:37,520 private Court outside of the British 108 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,800 legal system if I give you just one 109 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,520 example you want more could go to my 110 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:45,440 Facebook page uh because I gave a speech 111 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:48,000 on it uh on a rooftop just a couple of 112 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,560 days ago and it's up there now if the 113 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,319 British government did as it should 114 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:57,800 force cocacola to take sugar out of 115 00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:58,960 their product Coca-Cola could sue the 116 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,360 British government even though the 117 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,360 British government had had been elected 118 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,160 on a platform of forcing Coca-Cola to 119 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,720 take sugar out of their product 120 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,440 Coca-Cola could sue the British 121 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:14,120 government for billions of dollars in 122 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:17,919 lost profits ttip is a threat to the 123 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:20,680 very existence of civilized society in 124 00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:24,160 Britain and in any other country uh that 125 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:26,960 it's uh that it's uh concluded with we 126 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:30,240 have a much better chance of stopping 127 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:33,120 ttip in Britain than we do 128 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,919 across the European Union as a whole Tom 129 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,840 LED you to believe there was a Social 130 00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:40,960 Democratic consensus in the European 131 00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:42,840 Union in fact 18 out of 28 of the 132 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,199 European Union governments are 133 00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:48,240 right-wing governments and the other 134 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:51,280 countries waiting in

Kurdish 138 00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:07,479 population as we speak which is openly 139 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:10,759 operating in League with Isis in Syria 140 00:07:07,479 --> 00:07:14,160 which is a

because it's Muslim hardly not 152 00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:56,560 because it's Turkish hardly but because 153 00:07:51,919 --> 00:07:59,840 its regime presides over a system which 154 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,800 is openly involved in manipulating the 155 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,599 flow of 156 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:08,639 refugees in assisting Isis in their 157 00:08:04,599 --> 00:08:12,000

illegal under the 169 00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:52,600 European uh Constitution you are not 170 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:55,560 allowed to run the level of current 171 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:58,160 account deficit in your economy that you 172 00:08:55,560 --> 00:09:00,120 think is necessary to Kickstart your 173 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,440 economy and get it mov moving again you 174 00:09:00,120 -->

00:09:18,399 allowed to save your steel industry 178 00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:21,000 because it is a nationally strategic 179 00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,320 asset for you and tens scores of 180 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,519 thousands of people will be thrown out 181 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:28,640 of work if you don't save it because 182 00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:31,640 that is intervention in free market 183 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:36,480 capitalism which is illegal under the 184 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:40,320 European Union uh rules we're about to 185 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,880 in Europe transfer the Richard Branson 186 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,240 School of how to run a railroad to the 187 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:49,279 rest of Europe because the rest of 188 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:51,839 Europe has been found by the EU to be 189 00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:54,440 intervening in their public transport 190 00:09:51,839 --> 00:09:56,839 and Railway beyond the limits that are 191 00:09:54,440 --> 00:10:00,360 allowed in the EU so everyone who's ever 192 00:09:56,839 --> 00:10:05,120 traveled on a French publicly owned 193 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:07,839 Railway knows how Superior it is to ours 194 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:11,640 but our model which is a perfectly free 195 00:10:07,839 --> 00:10:14,279 market capitalist model except for the 196 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,959 subsidy that the taxpayer gives Richard 197 00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:19,399 Branson and Co which by the way is 198 00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:22,680 triple the subsidy we used to give 199 00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:25,240 British Rail when we owned it we give 200 00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:28,200 three times as much to Branson that's 201 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:32,160 the model that's going to be imposed uh 202 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:35,480 on railways acoss across Europe so you 203 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:38,920 know it doesn't 204 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:44,200 compute that somehow this is
