‘If you don’t believe in absolute freedom for anyone in the world to live and work in Britain, where would you draw the line?’
The beginnings of an answer might be: ‘Where immigration is a means to undermine people’s existing rights, together with the rights of the people who are being used to undermine them.’
At MP level I'd be incredibly surprised, at councillor level possible but not on the same scale as Tory defections.Not really sure if this is the right place for this, but Carswell has been talking about possible Labour defections-is that totally beyond the realms of possibility or could we see it?
Was he a serving MP when he joined UKIP?It's happened before: Robert Kilroy-Silk.
the way they keep going on about it is probably for one or both of two reasons.
1. Keep presenting themselves as the natural repository of the ex-Labour vote in the run up to the election.
2. It's true that one or two current or former Labour PPCs are talking to them, maybe an MP who is about to retire (Austin Mitchell for example). I don't believe there is a sitting MP who is intending to get re-elected next year who would see UKIP as a viable vehicle for that, and would be able to reconcile it with their beliefs.
• Regain control of our borders and of immigration - only possible by leaving the EU.What specifically is the UKIP policy on immigration? Do they even have one formulated yet? Do they even have their manifesto out?

What their policy is and whether they have a manifesto out is irrelevant - it's probably the least useful question you can ask right now.What specifically is the UKIP policy on immigration? Do they even have one formulated yet? Do they even have their manifesto out?
No, he wasn't. He'd just left the BBC iirc. As soon as he joined UKIP, he made a leadership bid and was defeated. He then formed Veritas. What happened to them?Was he a serving MP when he joined UKIP?
I wouldn't say never but it's highly unlikely at the moment.
austin 'that wasn't thievery it was an 'oversight' mitchell said:If Grimsby is UKIP's best chance, they've had it. It's a joke. They have got no better chance in Grimsby than anywhere else.
I've found their 'local' (presumably British) manifesto, but they list no source for most of their claims. For instance "There has been a sharp rise in the number of EU migrants without aFrom their website:
1. Regain control of our borders and of immigration - only possible by leaving the EU.
2. Immigrants must financially support themselves and their dependents for 5 years. This means private health insurance (except emergency medical care), private education and private housing - they should pay into the pot before they take out of it.
3. A points-based visa system and time-limited work permits.
4. Proof of private health insurance must be a precondition for immigrants and tourists to enter the UK.
According to the study, the number of job seeking EU migrants increased by 73% between 2008 and 2011, while the total EU migrant population (active and non-active) increased by only 28% in that period. Therefore, the number of job seeking EU expanded more rapidly than the overall number of migrants. This is reflected in the unemployment rate among EU migrants which rose from 5.0% in 2008 to 7.4% in 2012.
This is the response from supporters of the party of the class. To be honest I'd defect if I had to swallow shite like this:

It is equally possible to imagine a future Tory party led by Liz Truss or Sajid Javid sweeping into this liberal centre ground and putting Labour out of business for a generation. As one who says he needs at least a decade to implement his programme, Ed Miliband should be really worried about this prospect.
Quite a confused article, and to say Sajid Javid is in the 'liberal centre ground' is bizarre, the Economists view of the centre ground, maybe.

job living in Britain to more than 600,000 - the equivalent of a city
the size of Glasgow."
Googling to try and find out just gets me links to the likes of the Telegraph. I don't know of any reliable source to verify or disprove this stuff so it's just all rhetoric.
They also say "According to the European Commission there was a 73% increase
in the number of job-seeking EU immigrants in our country."
The only source i can find that mentions this is http://www.definitive-is.com/2013/10/eu-study-migrants-benefit-tourism-issue/ whom i have never heard of and have no idea if they are another right wing think tank. They say
Mitchell used to write articles for Scallywag back in the day.Mitchell can be a bit of a populist rentagob but economically he's never signed up to the neo-liberal Blair project and his anti-EU views come a desire to saw more nation planning with policies exchange controls, imports etc. If Mitchell joins a party that thinks we should leave the EU so we can have more Thatcherite economics, then this man has clearly taken leave of his senses.
This is Cameron's view of the 'liberal centre ground'; married gays for Thatcherism
"Only 39% confirm to traditional old class divisions" lol. In other words they are wrong to do so and do so despite the efforts of the political commentariat. Probably like salad cream better than mayonnaise as well.This is the response from supporters of the party of the class. To be honest I'd defect if I had to swallow shite like this:

Once had the misfortune of sitting opposite him on a train during the miners strike . When I had a go at Kinnock and Labour he dismissed me as being a well meaning unrealist. I refused his offer of a tea. 'That'll show him' I thought.Mitchell used to write articles for Scallywag back in the day.
