Big three welcome Turkey into EU

Tuesday, 9th March 2010

The Foreign Secretary, William Hague and the Lib/Dems, Ed Davey have all agreed Turkey should join the EU. 

"They seem to care more about the Levant than they do about the UK", said Nigel Farage. 

"In order to appear inclusive they reject the opinion of a vast majority of their own country.

"Between them the three establishment parties show yet again the utter contempt they feel for the people of Britain. No poll has ever suggested that Turkish entry into the EU would be anything other than wildly against the wishes of Britain".

"To witter on about immigration policy in the EU as Ed Davey did is absurd, and if he doesn't know it then he should resign from his post. The fact is that the UK can do nothing about immigration from within the EU, and if Turkey was to join then 74 million Turks could, if they wished, move here. The provisions available to stop them are meaningless as the evidence from Bulgaria and Romania has shown." he went on.

"Milliband says it is 'remarkable' that there is agreement amongst the three establishment parties. It is not remarkable at all. They all believe that Britain should cease to be a self governing country, just as they agree we should remain in the EU. They are a shower who deserve to be thrown out of all their offices as soon as this election finally comes."

The three establishment party Foreign spokesman were talking at the Chatham House on Friday.
