A TOP European politician has been described as ‘robotically toeing the company line’ after arguing Britain should stop moaning about problems caused by European immigrants.
Laszio Andor, EU Commissioner for employment, claims EU migration is good for the UK and instead of complaining about pressure on schools, hospitals and housing, the UK should be building homes for immigrants.
But Paul Nuttall, deputy leader of UKIP and MEP for the North West, said: “These are ridiculous views from someone truly indoctrinated in the autocratic Brussels power game and they do not accord with the British public’s views.
“Our whole infrastructure is creaking at the seams as the result of mass immigration, particularly in recent years from eastern Europe, but he is blithely suggesting we just invest in more facilities to cope with the influx.
“He insists that migration from other EU countries is good for us. he doesn’t live in areas where not only is there no room in the inn, but there's no room in the schools or hospitals either.
“The answer is not more but less immigration, we’re full up, we’re fed up, and we’re broke.”
