An alarm bell interrupted Cameron's speech on immigration at the JCB plant in the Midlands today. It was perhaps a poetic moment given how unhappy Brussels is bound to be about his pledge to demand treaty changes to limit benefits for EU migrants. by by Andre Walker 28 Nov 2014 The speech came a day after Cameron was shown to have spectacularly failed to reduce new migration to the "tens of thousands". New figures show 260,000 more people came to the UK in the year until June than left. The Prime Minister had succeeded in reducing migration from outside the EU, but unskilled labour from Eastern Europe had easily wiped out any successes achieved in the rest of the world. This prompted him to demand: no welfare for migrants for the first four years, child benefits only paid to children living in the UK, deportation of both criminals and those who fail to get a job within six months of arriving. In truth, Cameron's pledge to demand a treaty change on these "magnets for migrants" was eminently reasonable, but it will not work. The EU will never allow us to do anything to reduce free movement of the unemployed, they have made that clear. So Eurosceptics should have been much more interested in the part of the speech were he pledged to "rule nothing out" if the EU refuse to play ball. After all, this is the pledge he will have to make good on if he is re-elected in May next year, because the EU will refuse to play ball. Cameron did not pledge controls on migration, or limits on the right to come here, and yet the moderate request to end the free-for-all will be met with ferocious resistance on the continent. When it does, the Prime Minister will be humiliated, and the only thing he can do to save face is to campaign to leave the EU in the 2017 referendum. Of course we do not know he is going to win the election, but if he does the fate of the country has just been sealed by the unemployed Romanian migrants who have come to the UK since they joined the EU. They came in floods, and when the British people reacted the political class was forced to act. No one is seriously claiming Cameron wants to campaign to leave the EU, but he will be forced to in the end. This is no longer about sincerity it's about circumstance, whether Cameron likes it or not his fate is now sealed. Raising the spectre of a major UK political party throwing its full might behind the Better Off Out cause for the first time in decades. If the Conservatives and UKIP both campaign for Britain to leave the EU in 2017 there is a genuine chance it will happen (no matter how much they hate each other). If it does then the country will have to sit back and think: it was not the lofty discussion about sovereignty that delivered it, nor the experts, nor even political campaigners pounding the streets... It was a bunch of unemployed Romanian immigrants... They were the ones who highlighted to every family in the country that even reasonable demands from Britain will never be countenanced by the EU. That our interests will always be ignored no matter how measured. That Eurocrat principals matter more than the British worker. This awakening is what will win the referendum. What a remarkable irony it will be when the beggar outside the supermarket is what gave this country it's independence. Never in the field of British history has so many owed so much to such scuffy beggars. Big Issue anyone!
