BEFORE the start of the first European Parliamentary session, 24 UKIP MEPs, including Thurrock’s Tim Aker, held a March for Freedom to signify their work for the freedom of people from EU legislation and waste.
At the beginning of the session, as the EU anthem was played, UKIP MEPs stood and turned their back on the EU flag.
Responding to both events, UKIP Deputy leader Paul Nuttall MEP said: “We don’t recognise or respect the EU flag or anthem. They are both symbols of our servitude inside a political union which the British people reject.
“We will do everything we can in European Parliament to oppose the Federalist system which ignores our national democracy and pushes millions of people across Europe into poverty and unemployment. We stand up for our people, not the EU flag and anthem.
“National democracy and EU membership are incompatible. We will do everything we can to free ourselves from this corrupt institution.”
Good. At least UKIP are not rolling over and allowing our country to be destroyed all in the name of ‘progressive federalism’ like Labour, the Lib Dems and sadly the ‘don’t quite know what to do’ Tories.
UK HAS HAD FASTEST GROWING POPULATION IN EUROPE FOR A DECADE
Mass immigration means Britain’s population has been growing twice as fast as the rest of Europe for the last decade – gaining as many people in that time as in the entire previous generation, official figures show. With around a quarter of new babies in the UK last year being born to foreign mothers.
Overall the population of the UK grew by just over 400,000 to 64.1 million in the year to mid-2013, according to the official annual estimate, adding the equivalent of the population of Bristol in a single year.
That means that the population has grown by five million since 2001, the same amount it gained in the previous 37 years.
Also immigration accounts for five times as much of this growth since the millennium as in the same period before, the ONS added.
Over the last decade Britain’s population has grown at a rate 0.7 per cent a year, just over twice the EU average of 0.34 per cent.
“Since 2001 there have been high levels of net inward migration, adding to the population at younger working ages,” the ONS explained.
“In part this was driven by the expansion of the European Union in 2004 and 2007.
“This period has also seen an increasing number of births, driven by both the immigration of women of childbearing age and rising fertility among UK-born women.”
Alp Mehmet, vice-chairman of the campaign group Migration Watch UK, said: “Population growth on this scale is clearly unsustainable and raises serious questions about the ability of public services and infrastructure to cope with such a rapidly growing population.
“The Government will have to build schools, GP surgeries, hospitals and homes as well as expand an already creaking infrastructure in order to cope with this demand at a time when there is very little money to spare.”

It is cold comfort that, after more than 10 years, the majority of people now accept that mass immigration is real and isn’t the myth that the left told everyone it was in a blatant attempt to lie to the public. The damage is done and continues to be done. A generation of young people have nothing but low wages, private renting and unemployment to look forward to thanks to the Labour party. They will never own their own home and will have to compete for scarce jobs thanks to those lies.
It probably won’t but this kind of betrayal of the people of this country should have resulted in the final demise of the Labour party. Unfortunately you can put a red rosette on road kill in this country and some people will still vote for it.
Thats all well and good Steven but David Cameron and the Tories are no better. They have allowed this to continue. All they have to do is say enough is enough and bring back our borders. I do not believe a UKIP style closed border system would be good for this country but by allowing millions of people to move here at the drop of a hat is ridiculous. The EU should not have a say in the matter and if they want to kick up a fuss then we should just stop paying into it.
The fact is the Tories are still interested in capturing the middle class vote that they lost in the mid 90s. Leaving the EU or controlling our borders is not such an issue for those voters. Gay Marriage was/is far more important.
As long as UKIP remain the only party with a genuine urge to stick up for the UK they will do very well. A few UKIP MPs would do Westminster the world of good.
You’ll get no argument from me on any of that Bernard87. The fact still is that mass immigration was the primary policy that the Labour party based most of their other policies on.
The minimum wage and expansion of benefits were introduced to negate the effect mass immigration would have on wages. The increase in spending on the NHS by 3 times greater than inflation was to minimise the effect it would have on the NHS. The same can be said for school funding. They knew exactly what they were doing but made out it was all for the benefit of the British people. It wasn’t, it was a monumental lie.
You’re absolutely right that the current government should simply say they are not going to abide by the freedom of movement rules and see what the EU does about it.
If they want to chase the minority of middle class votes that still want mass immigration to continue, let them do it. They’ll lose the election. When the middle classes are having their holiday homes demolished to make way for cheaper affordable housing for the masses, including those from outside the UK, maybe they won’t be so keen on our membership of the EU and their ready supply of cheap domestic staff and builders.

Bernard87, I have to correct you on one point in your post, UKIP do not want a closed border, they want a fair system across the board where the UK can allow those people who meet the needs of the country and will benefit the economy like we already have with non-EU countries.
At present we have a two tier system where those from the EU’s lower economic countries can just walk straight in to the UK without the net benefit to the UK.
can anyone tell me if there is any truth in the points below, that i have been told UKIP want to introduce?
scrap paid maternity leave?
cut education spending?
increase military spending? decriminalise marital rape?
abandon banking regulations?
promote fracking?
privatise the NHS?
halt climate change action?
can anyone clarify if they are in UKIP’S MANIFESTO?
We will do everything we can in European Parliament to oppose the Federalist system which ignores our national democracy and pushes millions of people across Europe into poverty and unemployment.
European MEPs cost £1.79m a year each – three times as much as MPs
MEPs sitting in the European Parliament cost three times as much as Westminster MPs at a price tag of £1.79 million each a year, new figures show.
They may have turned their backs whilst the anthem was played but none of them turn their backs to the money they receive
Cherry here are some other things that have been attributed to the left, even apparently the beliefs of the father of the current Labour leader. They are the some of the points, apparently, that lead to global Marxism according to the neo Marxist group, the Frankfurt School.
1. The creation of racism offences.
2. Continual change to create confusion
3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children
4. The undermining of schools’ and teachers’ authority
5. Huge immigration to destroy identity.
6. The promotion of excessive drinking
7. Emptying of churches
8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime
9. Dependency on the state or state benefits
10. Control and dumbing down of media
11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family
Now I realise this may be a simplification but, people constantly attribute claims against UKIP that can be argued. All I can say is, be careful what you try to make stick. The other side is just as dirty.
Cherry the UKIP manifesto has yet to be published so the answer to your question is we will have to wait until it is to see if they include your ideas.
Hi Ed
Thank you all. firstly they are not my ideas, they can be found if looked for im told and i have also seen a list of these things on the UKIP website hard to find but they are there.
Cherry please don’t tell porkies a list of these things as you say can’t be found on the UKIP website. If you claim to have seen them then please provide links direct to the UKIP website to prove yourself right.
seek and you shall find research is a good education also ed can you give me your views on the points i listed.
qute from cherry “i have also seen a list of these things on the UKIP website hard to find but they are there.”
Please provide a link.
can you clarify the points ed i always read what you put as you seem to have so much knowledge
Scraping paid maternity leave – http://www.amjadbashir.co.uk/ and http://www.keithrowe.info/policies/ukip-small-business-policy/
Cutting education spending – couldn’t find a source for this one, although UKIP have come out and said they want a grammar school in every area of the country…thoughtless spending instead, perhaps?
Increasing military spending by purchasing more powerful weapons – http://www.ukipeastsussex.com/common-sense-policies/defence
Decriminalise martial rape – shown via a voting record – http://old.votewatch.eu
Abandoning banking regulations – no source found for this one
Promoting fracking and halting climate change education – http://www.ukipworcester.org.uk/userfiles/downloads/sys/UKIP-Energy-Policy.pdf
Privatising the NHS – http://www.keithrowe.info/policies/nhs-policy
And a few other gems I’ve found…
Raising income tax for the poorest 88% of Britons – http://www.keithrowe.info/policies/ukip-small-business-policy/
Scrapping holiday entitlement – http://www.keithrowe.info/policies/ukip-small-business-policy/
Abolishing laws to protect British human rights – http://www.ukip.org/issues
The simple truth is you can’t provide a link to the UKIP website stating the list you have provided are official UKIP policies taken from the UKIP website because you have never seen this list on the UKIP website have you otherwise you would provide the link. So put up or shut up.
quote from cherry “i have also seen a list of these things on the UKIP website hard to find but they are there.”
Please provide a link on the UKIP website that states the list you provided are UKIP policies. It is a very simple thing for you to do so chop chop – link please.
Ed – I wrote a comment two hours ago which provided various links to sources of Cherry’s claims, however, it is yet to be moderated by the Editor…
Thank you Hilda im glad to see someone has researched this and i look forward to reading what you have found. However Ed can you give your opinion on the points i asked for clarity on?
Comment has been moderated and links/source are above Ed’s last comment 🙂
hilda – most of the links appear to be broken?
As for the 2 links that work
Fracking – Labour, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats all support fracking. So do UKIP. Do we really want to rely on Russia to supply our future gas needs?
Decriminalise marital rape – the link provided is the EU Parliament website. If you could point out exactly where UKIP has voted to make rape legal in marriage please point it out as I can’t find it?
cherry – still waiting for you to post the direct link to the UKIP site that you claim to have seen listing these policies. Still waiting.
Cherry, the things that you bought up were part of the 2010 manifesto that was put together by the ex leader of UKIP and has been completely ripped up and refuted by Nigel Farage, the new UKIP manifesto will be being produced in September, probably around the same time that the other parties will put theirs together as we head towards the 2015 General Election, what will be in those manifestos nobody knows so it is a waiting game.
During the EU elections the three main parties, and I class Lib Dems very loosely in that, tried everything to derail the massive rise in UKIP support from throwing the standard “racist” comments everywhere and sending out false information to voters, indeed some supporters actually sent bodily fluids and excrement through the post to the UKIP free-post address, something that the other parties never even came out and criticized, so it just shows the level of maturity of some of the voting public.
Thank you Lambo for the information, its nice when good common sense replies are given thanks again
No manifesto just core beliefs.
http://www.ukip.org/issues
EU should kick sad UKIP MEPS out. Stealing money just like the BNP.
http://www.ukip-ynl.org/ukip-manifesto-2014.pdf
Vince63, yes they have core beliefs, just like Labour, Tory and Lib Dems, they may not be liked by all but are certainly strongly believed by a vast majority.
As for kicking them out of the EU this would also go for any MEP from ant party as they are of little use in the European Unions master plan to create a United States of all the European countries, currently being led by the most influential country, Germany.
The manifesto that you kindly provided a link to was the 2014 Local Election manifesto and not that of the General Election in 2015, this will be revealed at the Party Conference in September
Hi Lambo
I hear what you are saying. Do you think it would be a good idea if all MEP’s gave up their allowances and just took monies for travel etc within reason (Not forgetting the human greed gene) and gave the rest to a worthy cause?
Just thinking out loud in my ideal world.
The following are quotes from the United Nations special envoy for international migration made last November.
“The UK still nurses a sense of their own homegeneity and difference from others. This is precisely what the European Union, in my view, should be doing their utmost to undermine”.
“The European Union should do its best to undermine the homegeneity of all it’s member states”.
So in essence this person no longer wants this country to be British. This is a view shared by the Labour party and many in Europe. Reason enough, I think, for people to express a desire to get out of Europe now. A view expressed at the last election by the majority of people that voted.
Steven
If we leave the EU can you tell me how that will change the way we trade and how we move between borders. IE buying homes in european countries, working, etc. Will we be treated the same as if we was from outside the EU as it is now. The trade bit interests me. I think 50% of our trade is with germany at the moment.
50% of our trade isn’t with Germany. We have had a continuous trade deficit with Europe, i.e. they export more to us than we do them. Trade wars are simply a threat.
There is no barrier to operating the system we operated pre Lisbon treaty. The only barrier is the fact that other EU countries desire total federalisation. They also realise that they will have to pick up those migrants that would not be able to come here. They’re not doing it out of a sense of fairness. They just don’t want their own countries overwhelmed.
Most people in this country want limited things to be changed about how we operate with Europe. Most notably the ability to be able to choose who comes to this country. So why is that so wrong.
The argument about British people living in Europe is a continually weakening one since more European’s now choose to come here to live than vice versa. So what are the EU going to, deport them all?
I doubt there would be much change if Britain left the EU or made changes to the way we deal with the EU. They have as much, if not more, to lose.
It should be remembered there are fewer members of the EU that would be able to prop it up if they were hit by any more financial crises. That’s probably the real reason they don’t want us to leave. They’re scared of total collapse of the currency and then the EU in it’s entirety.
I for one don’t think that it’s a good idea to be completely eroded as a nation state just to suit the political ends of others. Have you ever asked yourself, what happens if it all goes wrong and we as a nation no longer exist.
“we as a nation no longer exist.”
Thats what happens when people dont pay there taxes because they think its there money.
The United Nations special Envoy for international migration is the non executive chairman of Goldman Sachs. He is the former chairman of BP. He attends meetings of the Bieldeberg group. Do you still believe that the rich don’t have an interest in mass migration and open borders catching the bus.
Novice, We both know the rulers (you called them rich). run the game and they are playing each country off against each other just wait till TIPP comes in it will get worse.
I guess you asked a loaded question.
But I dont know what that has to do with not paying taxes.
Sorry I meant TTIP
