Migration is a 2 way process. In excess of 2 million Brits have used
their rights as EU citizens to live, work and retire in Europe. This
freedom is threatened by UKIPs proposal to take the UK out of the EU. I
regularly work in other EU countries, and UKIP will deny me the right to
do so; thus UKIP's policy is a threat to personal freedom and will
undermine our economy.
The principle of free movement was fought for by Margaret Thatcher, when
she helped to create the single market; it seems bizarre that the Right
Wing of her Party now seek to undermine her achievement. The
Conservative Party are the architects of Britain's membership of the EU,
and Heath/Thatcher/Major & Cameron were/are committed Europeans.
Ironically when Labour fought the 1983 General Election with a policy of
leaving the EU they lost heavily.
So let's have some balance here. Yes there is a need to address
migration, but simply slamming the door will turn the UK into a prison -
with us all as the prisoners denied the right to live and work in other
EU countries.
