I was more worried about these '10 ex-communist countries' all upping sticks and coming over 'ere. And there was me thinking the Red Scare was a thing of the past! You jest, but Nigel was right. The EU (or common market) worked in it's original format where countries of roughly equal economies banded together for commerce on preferential terms. Inviting Greece Romania etc to join was bound to upset the apple cart because their economies are/were weaker and it was inevitable that people would migrate to where the money is. Yes I agree. That why I want OUT of the EU but that is another debate ! All those who want OUT should vote for a Conservative government as we are the only party who could be in a position to offer that referendum. Fvck me Hoof, it's time to change your politics when you're aligned with 'Willo' ROFL ! At the end of the day the Conservative party is a "Broad church" ! The only question for me and voters generally is whether to vote Tory or UKIP. The key thing is to keep Labour out. The second objective is to reduce immigration by introducing a Australian style system.

To use your example, Greece was never in the Soviet Union, so why does he feel the need to mention certain countries' political background? Your last point I actually wholeheartedly agree with. Migratory flow, albeit inconsistent, is always going to pursue wealth. But I would argue that that's a far more compelling case for decentralising wealth than it is for some short term blockade of migration, which will simply lead to large-scale economic depravation in poor parts of the world, and weealth stagnation in richer parts of the world where the population ages and basic labour isn't adequately staffed (as you saw in Japan about a decade ago). Don't forget each speaker had a minute to make their point, so it was easier/quicker to say what he did rather than individually naming countries per se. There is also the fact that citing Romania has more of a fear factor than Greece.... and after all he was trying to make an impact as was all the leaders. The general point he made was right imo. Farage and myself are more worried about the infrastructure rather than the economic factors of immigration. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to live in Lincolnshire which is now an east European ghetto and trying to see your GP.

My two pence worth: Bennett - SOOO nervous at the start! Can't take her eurocommunist nonsense seriously so can't comment without strong prejudice on what she said. Obviously totally unelectable though, the Greens need to get rid asap Farage - concise and clear, heard it all before though. He certainly knows which voters he's going for. Enjoyed the HIV stuff especially the over-pious replies, say what you like about Farage, he's not scared of dangerous ground Clegg - almost made me want to vote Lib Dem! So electable, if he'd chosen Tories or Labour he'd be PM Wee Jimmy Sturgeon - did very well and will be the biggest winner on the night, but she doesn't fool me for a minute, behind that reasonable progressive facade is a nutjob marxist ideologue who'd kill every firstborn English child if it got her lot what they want Cameron - tediously on message, it was about damage limitation for him, SMART move wriggling out of all the other debates, when they started taking pot shots at each other instead of lumps out of him he must have been grinning inwardly. How is he going to deliver the promise to send unemployed EU nationals home?! Wood - would probably smash it, mmm lovely Welsh voice (what did she actually say again?) Miliband - bit pious in the opening (too many rehearsals?), did much better later, loved how he chucked "hedge funds" in there as a random bogeyman. "There you go again" - direct plagiarism from Ronald Reagan!! did well on immigration. general comments: 1. why do people mythologise about and "love" the NHS?! It's beyond me. It's an insurance-based healthcare system not an effing football team! The way they go on, you'd think Britain was the only country in the world with hospitals!! 2. BORE OFF YOUNG PEOPLE. Stop effing moaning, you don't know you're alive. My mum had an outdoor toilet, a tin bath once a week and worked by candlelight during the 3 day week. Stop tweeting hashtags and go and make someting of yourselves! Especially the idiot hippy who stood up and shouted. Moron. Quite liked the host.
