:45:26. > :45:34.10 years ago, not a single child attending classes had English as a

:45:44. > :45:50.have English as a second language. That started about 2005. It has

:46:08. > :46:11.
:46:11. > :46:15.extension. Over the past decade, Boston has seen more inward
:46:15. > :46:21.migration from the event any other district in England and Wales. One
:46:21. > :46:26.in 10 people living near a from the EU, and that is leading to concerns
:46:26. > :46:31.about what would happen if they had to cope with more. This is why they
:46:31. > :46:38.come - Lincolnshire's huge agricultural and food processing

:46:48. > :46:55.Bulgaria are lifted next year? Boston is at breaking point. The
:46:55. > :47:03.locals cannot cope any more. Keep services, hospitals, you go down to
:47:03. > :47:06.Boston High Street, and it is like you are in a foreign country.
:47:06. > :47:11.Boston raised the profile of this issue before many other parts of

:47:21. > :47:23.
:47:23. > :47:26.thorough assessment on the impact of mass migration. If it adversely
:47:26. > :47:32.affects the community, we need to bring it to the attention of the
:47:32. > :47:38.relevant powers. There is no doubt that inward migration is serving up

:48:07. > :48:12.living in a house. A small number of Romania and Bulgaria people are

:49:22. > :49:30.continued to be one of the big topics people raised with me
:49:30. > :49:34.constantly. I am glad that the Government is tackling that. We are
:49:35. > :49:40.seeing net migration down by 25% outside the EU, but where there is
:49:40. > :49:44.a problem is within the EU. What we have to try and do is stop the
:49:45. > :49:50.migration that is hitting our services. I am talking about
:49:50. > :49:54.benefit migration. Economic migration is a good thing because
:49:54. > :50:00.there are companies all over our country who need people to work for
:50:00. > :50:07.them. But if we don't deal with this is a problem, it will go on
:50:07. > :50:17.and on and on. People like Peter Davies will tell you we can't
:50:17. > :50:20.
:50:20. > :50:27.control our own borders. We can't. Well they are doing is... You are
:50:27. > :50:37.stoking up right-wing agitators all-over this country. Cutting
:50:37. > :50:38.
:50:38. > :50:44.migration by a quota?! You know that is rubbish. There is quite a
:50:44. > :50:50.bit they can be done. People come to work, and we know some of the
:50:50. > :50:53.people who employ them up are not abiding by our rules. They are not
:50:53. > :50:58.paying the minimum wage, advertising for it eastern
:50:59. > :51:03.Europeans only. Everybody is entitled to the minimum wage,
:51:03. > :51:07.everybody should be entitled to apply for those jobs. If British
:51:07. > :51:17.people are not taking up the jobs, people will come from us what you
:51:17. > :51:18.
:51:18. > :51:23.work for them. She is right. That is one of the chief problems. How
:51:23. > :51:33.many do we have on the dole? A 2 million people. We do not need
:51:33. > :51:34.
:51:34. > :51:39.these workers. This is the main criticism levelled at the last
:51:39. > :51:46.Labour government - will you write to have an open-door policy in
:51:46. > :51:51.2030? The situation then was very different. We saw Polish, qualified
:51:51. > :51:55.plumbers coming to do jobs whether or not be able to do them. I am not
:51:55. > :52:00.saying you should discriminate, but jobs are such as picking in the
:52:00. > :52:10.fields, it people -- if British people want to apply for them, they
:52:10. > :52:12.
:52:12. > :52:18.should be able to apply on a level playing-field. I would say the rise
:52:18. > :52:23.of the far-right stems from the problems in 2030 because this
:52:23. > :52:28.country was one of them, one of the countries that did not put those
:52:29. > :52:33.controls in place. We saw more people coming into this country
:52:33. > :52:37.than the Government predicted that the time, and it was bearing their
:52:37. > :52:44.head in the sand. We have had huge problems with how has it now, and
:52:44. > :52:48.there is a worried that could get worse. A lot of people came here,
:52:48. > :52:54.not just for the jobs. They have also come here because they had
:52:54. > :53:03.been a good access the benefits system. They have both opened at
:53:03. > :53:09.the goals. We need to be out of the EU altogether. In Doncaster, I
:53:09. > :53:14.stopped translation services, not in a racist way, but on the grounds
:53:14. > :53:19.that I believe anybody who comes to this country has a duty to learn
:53:19. > :53:24.English before they are right here. If I went to France, I would learn

:53:38. > :53:41.Doncaster will get the chance to either elect a new mayor or stick

:53:44. > :53:47.represented the English Democrats. However, he announced this week he
:53:47. > :53:50.was leaving the party, claiming it had become the target of a far-
:53:50. > :53:56.right coup. A brand new council building at a
:53:56. > :54:04.familiar story - the region's only directly elected Mayor parted
:54:04. > :54:11.company with his party. I have left at the English Democrats because
:54:11. > :54:20.the party has taken a rather strange tone to the right, it has
:54:20. > :54:30.allowed many British National Party members to join. I am not a
:54:30. > :54:36.believer in mass conversion. There is no doubt the far-right British
:54:36. > :54:44.National Party has splintered, with many of its most active members

:56:14. > :56:22.interfere with anything I do, but they are there to see that people
