:45:55. > :46:01.And we had come exactly like you did, we had been the voice that
:46:02. > :46:05.constantly points out the problem. What is the problem, what we need to
:46:06. > :46:11.do, and they have brought us everything. And you have read it in
:46:12. > :46:17.the newspapers, they call us all the bad name is possible. And now
:46:18. > :46:25.recently, just eg ago, the political parties started to adapt into our
:46:26. > :46:31.political suggestions. Because we have said that for a long time we
:46:32. > :46:39.can no longer handle this massive immigration into our country. When
:46:40. > :46:43.we said it a year ago, they called us all those names, it was a huge
:46:44. > :46:49.problem to say those things. Now it is no problem, now they call it
:46:50. > :46:56.necessary. And it is a responsibility they are taking to
:46:57. > :47:01.take care of the Swedish people. It is hypocrisy on a high level from
:47:02. > :47:10.the Swedish establishment. APPLAUSE
:47:11. > :47:15.And we have seen it in the pause in Sweden as well -- in the polls. We
:47:16. > :47:21.are now the biggest party in several areas, and we are on the way from 17
:47:22. > :47:30.to close to 30%. APPLAUSE
:47:31. > :47:37.We will just come exactly as you did, continue to put the pressure on
:47:38. > :47:43.the other politicians to deliver. Because, if you are a Swedish
:47:44. > :47:46.politician, or if you are a British politician, your main responsibility
:47:47. > :47:48.is to take care of your own country and not the rest of the world.
:47:49. > :48:05.APPLAUSE And I'm sorry to say but that is a
:48:06. > :48:11.huge amount of politicians that actually forget who voted for them.
:48:12. > :48:18.They forgot it completely. They live a very good life, plenty of money,
:48:19. > :48:21.they don't see the downsides of the lines outside of the dentists where
:48:22. > :48:26.you have to wait months and months to come to a dentist, and in the end
:48:27. > :48:30.you cannot afford it, so you have to cancel the time. But they don't see
:48:31. > :48:35.that, because they live a privileged life in many ways. For me, it has
:48:36. > :48:41.been so very important to stay with my feet on the ground, in my head I
:48:42. > :48:56.am still myself and will always be. I also have put in quite a lot of
:48:57. > :49:03.time as a substitute for Nigel when he has been away campaigning, and I
:49:04. > :49:09.have the some of his duties. That means having dinners with the
:49:10. > :49:14.establishment... And I tell you... When you come to those dinners on,
:49:15. > :49:23.what do you call it, with gold-plated Rins and silver forks
:49:24. > :49:27.and the wind and the crystal glasses, it's quite embarrassing. So
:49:28. > :49:31.go and the wind. I remember once when I filled in for him. It wasn't
:49:32. > :49:37.a discussion about immigrants drowning in the meant it in, -- it
:49:38. > :49:44.was a discussion, and while we discussed it, we had a three course
:49:45. > :49:48.dinner, very good wine, waiters were around and serving the wind. It is
:49:49. > :49:55.actually quite disgusting. We are talking about people drowning, and
:49:56. > :49:58.they are supposed to be there to solve the problem. And the only
:49:59. > :50:04.thing they are doing is eating their very good food. So I said when I got
:50:05. > :50:17.the microphone, this is disgusting. APPLAUSE
:50:18. > :50:22.We are sitting here, and actually one guy from the Netherlands that
:50:23. > :50:30.spoke after me, she said, it's quite astonishing. It actually takes a
:50:31. > :50:34.normal truck driver to tell you what you are doing wrong. Isn't there
:50:35. > :50:40.really something wrong in the political establishment when they so
:50:41. > :50:42.totally lose the contact with the ordinary people and the
:50:43. > :50:52.responsibility they have in their position.
:50:53. > :51:00.In Sweden, we will always be the guarantee for the ordinary people,
:51:01. > :51:05.the common people, the hard-working people, that pay their taxes.
:51:06. > :51:10.Because we strongly believe that we are placed in our positions to work
:51:11. > :51:14.for them, and they pay a very high amount of taxes, and then they
:51:15. > :51:19.should also be able to use their social welfare system. But we also
:51:20. > :51:25.have a lot of people coming in that never contributed anything into the
:51:26. > :51:30.system, but who are taking out from the system very much. And that is
:51:31. > :51:34.totally wrong. Of course if you are a Swedish or a British citizen and
:51:35. > :51:39.you have paid your taxes are your entire working career, of course you
:51:40. > :51:42.should be the one that is privileged when you should come to your health
:51:43. > :51:50.care and everything else -- when it comes to your health care.
:51:51. > :51:59.In Sweden, the Sweden Democrats will be that voice, always, for the
:52:00. > :52:03.ordinary people. And in the United Kingdom, it always, as I see it,
:52:04. > :52:09.will be Ukip that delivers that voice. It is the ordinary people
:52:10. > :52:16.that need the ordinary people, that talked of the ordinary people, that
:52:17. > :52:20.listens to the ordinary people. And they don't give very much to the
:52:21. > :52:27.political establishment. And that is quite astonishing work they are
:52:28. > :52:32.doing for you, always. I will not take up too much of your time. We
:52:33. > :52:37.have more speakers to come on, I have my colleagues also waiting to
:52:38. > :52:45.speak. But I will say this. You have had an excellent party leader. In
:52:46. > :52:52.Nigel, you have had a great person. APPLAUSE
:52:53. > :53:01.He is a person that, in my eyes, pretty much sacrifice very much of
:53:02. > :53:05.his private life. As he said himself, you went into this
:53:06. > :53:11.completely, he gave it all, he said he would deliver, and he delivered.
:53:12. > :53:20.How many politicians do that? APPLAUSE
:53:21. > :53:28.I also know Diane James very well of course. She is actually sitting just
:53:29. > :53:33.in front of me in the Parliament. Very nice woman. I think she will be
:53:34. > :53:41.an excellent party leader for you. But there are in mind, it's not easy
:53:42. > :53:46.to fill the shoes of Mr Farage. He is an icon, he is pretty much way up
:53:47. > :53:50.there where writ is almost impossible to reach. So you have to
:53:51. > :53:55.remember, Diane will of course have her own way of being party leader.
:53:56. > :54:02.And you cannot really may become per her to Nigel. -- may become per. But
:54:03. > :54:06.the rest of the Ukip elected members will be there. You will be there,
:54:07. > :54:16.and, you know what, together, we will do a fantastic job. We are
:54:17. > :54:21.quite firm in that position. Well, that's it, and it was a privilege as
:54:22. > :54:26.always to come here and meet all of you. It feels like coming home for
:54:27. > :54:29.me, almost like family. It feels like I'm speaking in front of my own
:54:30. > :54:34.party, pretty much. Because we have pretty much the same values, I would
:54:35. > :54:37.say. We believe in the little people, we believe in the right to
:54:38. > :54:41.raise the voice for the little people, that they should be listened
:54:42. > :54:49.to. That is what you are delivering, that is what my party is delivering.
:54:50. > :54:50.It has been a complete privilege, and I'm looking forward to meeting
:54:51. > :55:15.you again. Thank you very much. Huge thank you there to Peter. Now,
:55:16. > :55:18.ladies and gentlemen, our second Speaker of this session, a man that
:55:19. > :55:25.we all know, one of the real characters of the party, having
:55:26. > :55:30.joined us in 1996. Stood for us in a Westminster election in 1997. Has
:55:31. > :55:33.been a regional organiser, and is now one of our excellent MEPs for
:55:34. > :55:37.the West Midlands, also our Commonwealth spokesman. Ladies and
:55:38. > :55:52.gentlemen, Jim Carver. APPLAUSE
:55:53. > :56:01.Good afternoon, conference. I'm delighted to be here, celebrating
:56:02. > :56:06.our referendum success. Returning our country from the shackles of
:56:07. > :56:14.Brussels. I must offer my personal thanks to Nigel, whose leadership
:56:15. > :56:18.got us the referendum. I also want to say a huge thanks to my other
:56:19. > :56:23.great friend, Paul Nuttall, who has also worked so hard and been unable
:56:24. > :56:29.deputy to Nigel. But more importantly, I want to thank you --
:56:30. > :56:33.am able deputy. From grassroots, because of you all we are on the way
:56:34. > :56:39.to getting our country back, thank you.
:56:40. > :56:47.I've been asked to talk about the Commonwealth in today 's New World,
:56:48. > :56:51.a world full of new opportunities for the United Kingdom. Free from
:56:52. > :56:58.the stranglehold of EU membership. I want share my vision of a confident
:56:59. > :57:01.UK, reclaiming its place within a forward-looking Commonwealth,
:57:02. > :57:06.leaving behind the stagnation of an inward looking EU dominated by
:57:07. > :57:10.bureaucrats and their petty empire building. We live in a world that is
:57:11. > :57:15.governed by networks between countries. People, businesses, in a
:57:16. > :57:21.way that we've never seen before. I've been an advocate and supporter
:57:22. > :57:27.of the Commonwealth network, perhaps the globe's oldest network, spanning
:57:28. > :57:32.every continent, all of my life. The Commonwealth enables it to have its
:57:33. > :57:35.collective voice and action to the global challenges that all its
:57:36. > :57:41.members and the world face. Despite decades of governance and charities
:57:42. > :57:44.are bought, Africa faces as many challenges as ever before. Our
:57:45. > :57:50.current approach, ladies and gentlemen, simply doesn't work. But
:57:51. > :57:56.now that we have control of our own Craig Pawson, we can lead the world
:57:57. > :57:57.by example -- our own trade policy. By following an example of trade not
:57:58. > :58:09.aid. We can get rid of wasteful
:58:10. > :58:15.government foreign aid programmes and open up these networks, not only
:58:16. > :58:19.making food cheaper in the UK, but also providing real opportunities in
:58:20. > :58:26.Africa where the economic stimulus provided by exporter to our country.
:58:27. > :58:32.But why is the Commonwealth best placed to achieve this? I'll begin
:58:33. > :58:37.by setting out its relevance today and how its ready-made network can,
:58:38. > :58:41.within gauge meant and momentum from all its members, helped deliver
:58:42. > :58:47.security and prosperity for all of us -- with engagement. I believe the
:58:48. > :58:50.world sees the UK, as do especially the Commonwealth members, as a
:58:51. > :58:56.leader. Exemplifying the principles that bring us all together. Freedom,
:58:57. > :59:01.democracy, good governance and the rule of law, free trade and human
:59:02. > :59:05.rights. As a British MEP, I care about helping the UK become a more
:59:06. > :59:13.secure, more prosperous country, existing in a world where certain
:59:14. > :59:17.basic values or upheld. The world order has shifted. Economic power
:59:18. > :59:24.and influence is moving east and south, with the rise of the emerging
:59:25. > :59:30.economies in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The world has become or
:59:31. > :59:33.interconnected through trade, technology and universal global
:59:34. > :59:37.challenges or more interconnected. Such as energy, security and
:59:38. > :59:43.terrorism. Events that happen in one part of the world no longer happen
:59:44. > :59:48.in isolation. More often than not, the impact can be felt across
:59:49. > :59:52.continents, often very quickly. The financial crisis that has engulfed
:59:53. > :59:57.the worst, or the revolutions that spread across the Middle East and
:59:58. > :00:01.North Africa, have fiscal or political ramifications across the
:00:02. > :00:06.globe. This greater interdependence means that we must work together on
:00:07. > :00:11.the important global issues. A part of my vision for the Commonwealth is
:00:12. > :00:17.that it is a strong force on a world stage. And why wouldn't it be?
:00:18. > :00:20.Several Commonwealth members are also members of the UN Security
:00:21. > :00:26.Council. The G20 and other important global bodies. Where our interests
:00:27. > :00:30.overlap, we should make clear what our common position is. The
:00:31. > :00:34.Commonwealth network, with its shared principles and similarly Gul
:00:35. > :00:39.systems and, language, make it an ideal platform for doing business,
:00:40. > :00:44.trade and development, which will, of course, lead the Buzz Berti from
:00:45. > :00:47.members -- similar legal system. I see an increased commitment of
:00:48. > :00:53.democratic values and increased trade as two sides of the same coin.
:00:54. > :00:57.In fact, if I had one word to respond to the question, how was the
:00:58. > :01:07.Commonwealth relevant today, it would be trade.
:01:08. > :01:14.Over the last two decades, the importance of Commonwealth members
:01:15. > :01:20.to each other as sources of imports has grown by a quarter. And as a
:01:21. > :01:24.third as destinations for exports. More than half of Commonwealth
:01:25. > :01:28.countries now export over a quarter of their total exports to other
:01:29. > :01:34.Commonwealth members. The Commonwealth Society wrote a report
:01:35. > :01:37.called trading places, the Commonwealth effect revisited. The
:01:38. > :01:45.paper made clear there is indeed a Commonwealth factor when it comes to
:01:46. > :01:49.intra- Commonwealth trade. Research found the value of trade was likely
:01:50. > :01:54.to be one third to one half more than when one or both of the trading
:01:55. > :01:59.partners was a non-Commonwealth country. This X factor can be
:02:00. > :02:03.explained in part by our common history culture and a belief that
:02:04. > :02:08.ties Commonwealth member states together. The facts speak for
:02:09. > :02:13.themselves, the Commonwealth is good for business. Five of the top ten
:02:14. > :02:18.countries in which to do business Commonwealth countries, and 17 of
:02:19. > :02:22.the top 20 countries which do business in sub Saharan Africa are
:02:23. > :02:28.also Commonwealth members. Is it any wonder that the Commonwealth brand
:02:29. > :02:34.is increasingly sought-after? For trade worth over 3 trillion US
:02:35. > :02:38.dollars occurs annually within the Commonwealth, and its combined GDP
:02:39. > :02:45.nearly doubled between 1990 and 2009. It contained several of the
:02:46. > :02:50.world's fastest-growing economies and will shape the global economy in
:02:51. > :02:53.the future including India, South Africa, Malaysia, Nigeria and
:02:54. > :03:00.Singapore, and five members of the G20. In middle class in the
:03:01. > :03:04.Commonwealth has expanded by nearly 1 billion people in the last two
:03:05. > :03:13.decades on the Commonwealth contains 30 1% of the global population --
:03:14. > :03:17.31%. This network also provides us with links to other global networks
:03:18. > :03:28.which can benefit us all. For examples Singapore, Brunei and
:03:29. > :03:31.Malaysia link us to as EN. Canada is the third-largest economy in the
:03:32. > :03:37.Commonwealth and an important gateway to the USA for many
:03:38. > :03:42.countries. 44 of the G 77 countries are members of the Commonwealth, as
:03:43. > :03:46.are 19 of the 13 African union countries. 12 of both the Caribbean
:03:47. > :03:51.community and the organisation of the Islamic conference. Ten of the
:03:52. > :03:58.Pacific island Forum and seven of the Asia-Pacific economic
:03:59. > :04:00.cooperation. This equates to huge opportunities for partnerships
:04:01. > :04:06.within the Commonwealth and will help us to compete in these markets.
:04:07. > :04:10.We must press for the Commonwealth to be utilised fully to help lift
:04:11. > :04:16.the prosperity of all of its members for increased free and fair trade.
:04:17. > :04:21.It must become a leading voice in the global economy, working to
:04:22. > :04:24.liberalise trade and break down barriers for International business.
:04:25. > :04:26.Member states are investing in the Commonwealth family where the
:04:27. > :04:31.wealthiest countries in the world sit alongside some of the poorest.
:04:32. > :04:37.India has increased commitments by providing up to 7 million a year to
:04:38. > :04:41.the 19 African members of the Commonwealth through the special
:04:42. > :04:47.Commonwealth assistance in Africa programme. As Ukip's Commonwealth
:04:48. > :04:50.spokesman Eid champion its values, advocating for small and developing
:04:51. > :04:55.countries to take collective interest in interest such as debt
:04:56. > :04:58.relief and ensuring Commonwealth institutions are fit for purpose and
:04:59. > :05:03.working to our strengths. It is vital the Commonwealth returns to
:05:04. > :05:08.its strengths of democracy and development. The UK has a very real
:05:09. > :05:12.interest in seeing Commonwealth countries maintaining democratic
:05:13. > :05:15.integrity and the rule of law. I want a strengthened Commonwealth
:05:16. > :05:21.that protects our values but is also able to work constructively and
:05:22. > :05:25.offer encouragement to those facing challenges to democratic
:05:26. > :05:29.development. Small and vulnerable states should be reassured by the
:05:30. > :05:33.network offering them a solid platform from which to voice their
:05:34. > :05:39.opinions and receive timely assistance and support on issues
:05:40. > :05:46.facing us all. Ukip's challenges to raise awareness of and build support
:05:47. > :05:50.for the Commonwealth. And this as an alternative to that ghastly single
:05:51. > :05:56.market. And showed the misguided attitude of project fear for what it
:05:57. > :06:00.really was. We in Ukip have led our country back into the world, giving
:06:01. > :06:05.us the opportunity to take full advantage of our options. We are
:06:06. > :06:09.forward-looking, open and engaged, and in my role as both an MEP and
:06:10. > :06:15.Commonwealth spokesman, I want to make sure that Ukip does the same
:06:16. > :06:18.with both old friends and new. One of my very few pleasures within the
:06:19. > :06:24.European Parliament is the ability to work closely with like-minded
:06:25. > :06:29.movements across Europe. Like Peter who we've just heard from. Whilst
:06:30. > :06:33.we've won our referendum and our freedom, millions more remain
:06:34. > :06:37.trapped on willingly in ever closer union and we must also be ready to
:06:38. > :06:42.offer our advice and support to those still campaigning for a better
:06:43. > :06:47.Europe. One based on mutual friendship and national democracy.
:06:48. > :06:52.And whilst these allies and friends will remain valued, we must also
:06:53. > :06:55.look forward to establishing new partnerships with like-minded
:06:56. > :07:00.parties from across the Commonwealth. So now, as we look
:07:01. > :07:11.forward to the future, I would like to congratulate Diane James on her
:07:12. > :07:18.victory today. APPLAUSE British politics is in a state of
:07:19. > :07:24.flux, with the potential for huge gains for our party. The Islington
:07:25. > :07:29.elite has never been so detached and cared so little for its core
:07:30. > :07:34.working-class support. Now more than ever we need a strong alternative to
:07:35. > :07:38.the two main parties, after all what was the point of fighting so hard
:07:39. > :07:49.for our democracy just hand it back to the same old establishment again?
:07:50. > :07:54.APPLAUSE Whilst some wrongly suggest that it
:07:55. > :08:05.might be job done for Ukip, I say we are needed now more than ever.
:08:06. > :08:08.APPLAUSE Conference, I believe that Fortune
:08:09. > :08:14.favours the brave, and now as we head back out into the world, that
:08:15. > :08:15.world is our oyster and the Commonwealth is a precious pearl
:08:16. > :08:42.within it. Thank you. APPLAUSE Thank you, Jim. Very few industries
:08:43. > :08:46.have been punished more than Britain's fisheries. As a result of
:08:47. > :08:51.our membership of the European Union. And our next speaker believes
:08:52. > :08:55.so passionately about it that he's almost become synonymous with in
:08:56. > :09:00.Ukip for speaking out on behalf of British fisheries. He is one of the
:09:01. > :09:04.nicest men in the party, you never hear anyone saying bad about our
:09:05. > :09:09.next speaker, despite the fact he's an Everton fan! Ladies and
:09:10. > :09:22.gentlemen, your appreciation please for Ray Finch. APPLAUSE
:09:23. > :09:31.Good afternoon my friends, how are we? It's brilliant to be back. I
:09:32. > :09:39.love conference, you meet all these lovely people, and Jim! LAUGHTER I
:09:40. > :09:43.know you are going to be expecting a sermon today about our fishing
:09:44. > :09:47.policy. But I've decided, as this is such a crucial time for our party
:09:48. > :09:53.and indeed our nation, that I'm going to speak to you about the
:09:54. > :09:58.future. The future of Ukip, and by extension the future of our nation,
:09:59. > :10:03.whatever the likes of the Conservative Party and the media
:10:04. > :10:07.say, it was Ukip who brought us the referendum. And without Ukip and all
:10:08. > :10:17.of you, it would never have been one. -- it would never have been
:10:18. > :10:21.won. Never ever forget that. You were the driving force for the
:10:22. > :10:27.reclamation of our nation. So, the question is, what now? Our political
:10:28. > :10:31.opponents both in other parties and in the media would love nothing
:10:32. > :10:37.better than to see us exit stage right. And there is no greater
:10:38. > :10:48.reason for us to carry on than their wish to see us finished. APPLAUSE
:10:49. > :10:54.The fact is, that's the real reason for the continued success of Ukip.
:10:55. > :10:57.And it is a continued success, because I was out campaigning with
:10:58. > :11:01.our team in Maidstone a couple of weeks ago and we retained the
:11:02. > :11:05.council seat with an increased share. We got more than Labour, the
:11:06. > :11:15.Tories and the Lib Dems combined, so we can win. APPLAUSE
:11:16. > :11:21.And the truth of the matter is that the old, disgraced parties are no
:11:22. > :11:26.longer in touch with the people. We are still the people's party, and
:11:27. > :11:31.the people need us to represent them in the way that the legacy parties
:11:32. > :11:36.no longer do. So, I want to talk to you about how I see our future, and
:11:37. > :11:40.luckily our new leader says she wants to see new policies from
:11:41. > :11:46.everyone. Just as well, because I've got a load of them! LAUGHTER It's
:11:47. > :11:53.about promoting policies for the entire nation, not just the crying
:11:54. > :12:00.classes on which the Labour and Tory party now subsist. We are not a
:12:01. > :12:04.party focus groups trying to wheedle just enough groups to target
:12:05. > :12:09.marginal constituencies by appealing to small segments of voters, if we
:12:10. > :12:17.use the right combination of weasel words and press releases and on the
:12:18. > :12:22.Today programme. APPLAUSE We are the party that should speak
:12:23. > :12:28.to and for everyone in our nation. We are the real one nation party,
:12:29. > :12:38.and we want a vision and a future for all of our citizens, not just
:12:39. > :12:43.the lucky few. APPLAUSE Here are some of my ideas for our
:12:44. > :12:48.future direction. I have to stress these are my ideas and not Diane's,
:12:49. > :12:51.and if she doesn't like them... Sorry! Don't want to be on the
:12:52. > :13:02.naughty step already on the first day! We need to ensure that our
:13:03. > :13:10.people are housed, educated, employed, healthy, fed, warm and
:13:11. > :13:16.safe. APPLAUSE None of which are present parties...
:13:17. > :13:21.That's seven criteria. Let's go through them one by one and see what
:13:22. > :13:27.we can do. Educated, schools for all. A maximum of 30 pupils in a
:13:28. > :13:32.class. Schools must be free to set their own curricula within sensible
:13:33. > :13:41.boundaries. Stop the overreliance on continual micro-testing in schools
:13:42. > :13:46.and let the teachers teach. APPLAUSE Also we must stop the catchment area
:13:47. > :13:52.scenario where those who can afford to buy properties in the locality of
:13:53. > :13:54.decent schools get their children a better education. This always
:13:55. > :14:00.disadvantages the children of the poor. Let everyone applied to the
:14:01. > :14:03.schools they want, as we do with universities. This gives poor
:14:04. > :14:08.children a better chance to go to the school that suits them. And this
:14:09. > :14:16.can help restart social mobility for our nation. APPLAUSE
:14:17. > :14:22.Housing. The cost of housing is utterly stagnant. The reasons for
:14:23. > :14:27.this include the loss of council housing and council house sales
:14:28. > :14:31.without like-for-like replacement. The restrictions on planning and the
:14:32. > :14:38.huge growth in population, due primarily to migration. So, let's
:14:39. > :14:42.build more council housing. It's generally of better quality.
:14:43. > :14:45.APPLAUSE It gives people a start in life and
:14:46. > :14:52.lets them get on the ladder. We've got to look at planning to help fix
:14:53. > :14:57.this. If you go back as far as the report in 1915 and the Dudley report
:14:58. > :15:03.in 1944, standards were set for council housing such as minimal room
:15:04. > :15:07.sizes. Now we have the smallest room sizes for new-build properties in
:15:08. > :15:13.Western Europe, and this must end. We have to be able to build houses
:15:14. > :15:16.fit for families to live in, and at present our housing stock is
:15:17. > :15:22.becoming worse and more expensive. We have to reverse this. First, we
:15:23. > :15:27.restore minimum room sizes to previous levels by legislation. We
:15:28. > :15:32.release land to be built on by local authorities, and this will destroy
:15:33. > :15:37.the pernicious practice of land banking. Councils building new
:15:38. > :15:39.quality homes for UK nationals to living with priority given to local
:15:40. > :16:03.people and two ex-military. APPLAUSE A Sam? And the homeless? Yes, I do
:16:04. > :16:10.apologise. It will force builders to use the land to build better homes
:16:11. > :16:13.for those who choose to buy them. This is not difficult, it just
:16:14. > :16:18.requires the willpower, and the people to support us. Employment,
:16:19. > :16:25.big one of mine. We need to end zero hours contracts as a mass tool of
:16:26. > :16:29.oppression. Companies over a certain size must not be allowed to employ
:16:30. > :16:33.over a small percentage of staff on these contracts. I have seen the
:16:34. > :16:39.damage they do the people's lives and mental well-being. Sitting at
:16:40. > :16:42.home waiting for days for the phone to ring, it's uncivilised and
:16:43. > :16:50.barbaric and will not do for the people of our United Kingdom.
:16:51. > :16:58.This doesn't mean that were going to be a party just for bashing the
:16:59. > :17:01.bosses. We must be a party that encourages employment, but not fake
:17:02. > :17:07.employment, real jobs must be the outcome. One of the biggest barriers
:17:08. > :17:10.we have the job creation is the employers National Insurance
:17:11. > :17:15.contribution. It is no more and no less than a tax on jobs. Why should
:17:16. > :17:19.an employer David Government to take someone off the dole? That must end,
:17:20. > :17:29.to -- why should an employer pay the Government. Health. The NHS is
:17:30. > :17:34.failing. Let's be brutally honest about this. The key indicators for
:17:35. > :17:40.many health issues are far worse in the UK than in our competitors. We
:17:41. > :17:47.need to fix the NHS and make our people healthier. First, we stopped
:17:48. > :17:51.diverted money out of the NHS to PFI schemes. They were originally used
:17:52. > :17:57.primarily by the Blair government to bypass, which was somewhat ironic,
:17:58. > :18:00.EU spending rules. They moved the costs to capital expenditure. But
:18:01. > :18:07.now they are going to cost the NHS over ?300 billion. We must stop
:18:08. > :18:14.them, now and forever. APPLAUSE
:18:15. > :18:22.If we need to find new hospitals, and we will, interest rates on
:18:23. > :18:28.Government loans are at a historic low. Let the NHS sell the loans
:18:29. > :18:33.guaranteed by the Government to find new hospitals. That is a cheaper and
:18:34. > :18:37.better way to fund our NHS. And next, we are told we need inward
:18:38. > :18:39.migration to run the NHS. It's a barefaced lie.
:18:40. > :18:51.APPLAUSE In 2014, 80% of UK applicants the
:18:52. > :19:03.nurse training were refused. Let's train our own nurses.
:19:04. > :19:13.Get our young and talented people of the off the dole and do the most
:19:14. > :19:17.worthwhile career there is. The left are telling people who have children
:19:18. > :19:23.or unjustly penalised in the workplace. This is actually true for
:19:24. > :19:27.nurses. They cannot get back because they are too expensive to employ
:19:28. > :19:31.because they are more qualified. Instead, we steal cheap nurses from
:19:32. > :19:42.abroad, from places that cannot afford to lose them, and this must
:19:43. > :19:51.end, too. Our NHS, and I know you will know this, is used as a world
:19:52. > :19:55.health service. We must end this. Many countries... Stop it, you'll
:19:56. > :19:58.get cramping your hands! Many countries in the world make you have
:19:59. > :20:04.valid health insurance before you enter. You get will make you do the
:20:05. > :20:12.same. -- Ukip. Even better, even better. Let's enable the NHS to set
:20:13. > :20:18.up its own insurance scheme for foreign nationals, and make a profit
:20:19. > :20:22.from it to reinvest in itself. Let us reverse the trend where we pay
:20:23. > :20:35.for the world's health care, and let them pay for hours. -- for ours. Jim
:20:36. > :20:39.talked about food just before, with trade not aid with Africa. Let's
:20:40. > :20:43.give them free trade agreements so they can sell us both processed and
:20:44. > :21:03.raw foods. Help them to help us. Yes, your next! Warmth. Stop all
:21:04. > :21:11.fuel taxes for the elderly. In fact, for the elderly and the infirm poor,
:21:12. > :21:17.give them free fuel. Over 20,000 people over 65 in the UK die every
:21:18. > :21:28.year because they have to choose to eat or heat. And this is barbaric.
:21:29. > :21:32.Let's stop this. Anyone who says, where can we find the money for
:21:33. > :21:37.this? They need to take a look at themselves. Our pensioners have
:21:38. > :21:41.worked hard all their lives contributing to our society. Would a
:21:42. > :21:45.civilised society let them freeze to death once they are too old to
:21:46. > :21:55.contribute? No, it would not. We owe a debt, and let us pay it. I think I
:21:56. > :22:03.might have to cut a couple of bits here. How long? Oh, great. Safety.
:22:04. > :22:07.Lots of policy, we like Bolasie! It's unusual to have a political
:22:08. > :22:13.party where they actually like policy, isn't it? Smart safety, we
:22:14. > :22:18.rely Cree Nation in that we are bound by the sea. -- we tailor the
:22:19. > :22:23.nation. This has given us a level of protection denied to a less happy
:22:24. > :22:27.nations. And now with modern transportation the need to protect
:22:28. > :22:32.ourselves mostly falls on border agencies. We need the insurer they
:22:33. > :22:39.are fully manned. -- we need to ensure they are fully manned. We
:22:40. > :22:45.should also offer any member of our Armed Forces at the end of their
:22:46. > :22:51.period of service a guaranteed job. We need to guard our seas against
:22:52. > :22:58.smugglers, whether of goods or of people. And therefore, a full
:22:59. > :23:04.coastal guard service needs to be in operation.
:23:05. > :23:14.We can start to build ships in orange shipyards in places like pork
:23:15. > :23:18.Portsmouth Naval documents -- our own ships.
:23:19. > :23:27.There will need to be a lot of coastal patrol vessels, not to just
:23:28. > :23:34.guard against smugglers, but also control our restored fisheries. And
:23:35. > :23:39.these must be built here. No longer will we have naval vessels built
:23:40. > :23:45.overseas in Korea and other places. We believe in Britain, let's build
:23:46. > :23:52.Britain by building in Britain. That was good, that, wasn't it?!
:23:53. > :24:00.A couple of little things at the end. I also want to mention the
:24:01. > :24:04.scourge of so-called payday lenders. They target the poorest and most
:24:05. > :24:11.honourable in our society. And we must, as a party, look at ways of
:24:12. > :24:12.restraining their damaging ways, they cause untold misery and it must
:24:13. > :24:23.stop. Right, before I finish, and, no, I'm
:24:24. > :24:28.not going for leadership of the Labour Party if anybody puts in! I
:24:29. > :24:31.wish to tell the Conservative government and the Department for
:24:32. > :24:37.Brexited that our fishing waters, you knew I'd come back to it, must
:24:38. > :24:42.be non-negotiable. We want our fisheries back, and if they try to
:24:43. > :24:45.abandon our fishermen like he did, then the Brexiting is protest will
:24:46. > :24:52.look like a quiet day on the boating lake compared to what we will
:24:53. > :25:03.unleash on them -- the Brexit Thames protest.
:25:04. > :25:12.We want our fisheries back, and we'll have them. Don't you worry, I
:25:13. > :25:16.will! Now, these are just my ideas for the change in better Britain.
:25:17. > :25:21.But the thinking behind these principles, and here is the plug, is
:25:22. > :25:28.available in the new booklet. Available at all good stores, with
:25:29. > :25:32.Ray Finch on them! I've written it with my colleague, Tony Brown. It is
:25:33. > :25:36.available free on the stall. I'm sure our new leader and their team
:25:37. > :25:41.will have many, many more and probably better. But policies along
:25:42. > :25:44.these lines I firmly believe will show the people of our United
:25:45. > :25:50.Kingdom that we are more relevant now than ever. Leaving the EU was
:25:51. > :25:55.just the start. It was turning the key to unlock our future. And we can
:25:56. > :26:00.and must be there to guide our nation forward together. The cars we
:26:01. > :26:05.are the only party which still believes in Britain and her people.
:26:06. > :26:10.Now, the nation needs Ukip more than ever before. And we must not fail
:26:11. > :26:33.our United Kingdom. Thank you, my friends, very much indeed.
:26:34. > :26:41.And now, ladies and gentlemen, our final Speaker of this session. It is
:26:42. > :26:47.a great delight for me to introduce a man who has held two exceptionally
:26:48. > :26:51.high profile briefs for our party, both as the economic spokesman
:26:52. > :26:55.Anders our immigration spokesman. A genuinely good man who I have no
:26:56. > :26:59.doubt has an incredibly strong, bright and prosperous future ahead
:27:00. > :27:21.of him in the Ukip. Ladies and gentlemen, Steven Woolfe.
:27:22. > :27:27.Good afternoon, conference. Ayew enjoying yourselves? Has it been a
:27:28. > :27:31.wonderful day? Thank you, Mr Chairman. What an honour to follow
:27:32. > :27:35.Ray, the man who has worked incredibly hard on his brief for
:27:36. > :27:39.fisheries, and somebody who you can see in Ukip is behind us all the
:27:40. > :27:43.way, is part of us, have the brilliant ideas that when we become
:27:44. > :27:48.the government we will take forward to take our fisheries back. Thank
:27:49. > :27:54.you, Ray, very much for all of that. I really don't know where I can put
:27:55. > :27:57.this! I'm glad that you will meet at an time.
:27:58. > :28:06.LAUGHTER I wasn't sure I would be! I have to
:28:07. > :28:09.admit, when I was running for the trade I caught a glimpse of a
:28:10. > :28:12.children's book in a shop window that I thought would give my
:28:13. > :28:16.daughter a valuable lesson in applying for job applications in the
:28:17. > :28:22.future, it was purple, had a big yellow clock on it, and it was
:28:23. > :28:28.called, what time is it Mr Wolf? LAUGHTER
:28:29. > :28:35.When I paid for the book, though, I realised I might miss the train and
:28:36. > :28:39.the next one was not for another 70 minutes. Thankfully, the conductor
:28:40. > :28:43.saw Miss printing down the platform and held up the train for a minute
:28:44. > :28:47.for meat -- saw me sprinting. Some of the passengers weren't happy, but
:28:48. > :28:48.others recognise they had been there themselves. I just hope you're glad
:28:49. > :29:02.that I'm here today. Can I begin by really offering my
:29:03. > :29:06.huge regulations to Diane. I think she has achieved a wonderful
:29:07. > :29:10.opportunity for this party -- huge congratulations. She will lead us
:29:11. > :29:14.tremendously in the future. And she has been a colleague of mine for a
:29:15. > :29:18.couple of years, and I've seen the commitment she has put into this
:29:19. > :29:21.party. I know she will do so to make sure that Ukip will get better, and
:29:22. > :29:25.that the British people will get what they voted for, ie Brexited
:29:26. > :29:30.meaning Brexited. And she will work to build on the party's
:29:31. > :29:36.achievements. I really want to say congratulations, Diane, well done.
:29:37. > :29:46.And of course it wouldn't be right to I do and once again pay a huge
:29:47. > :29:50.tribute to our outgoing leader, Nigel Farage. I left the City of
:29:51. > :29:54.London because of his passion and dreams. Those dreams led me to being
:29:55. > :29:57.there in Manchester on the night that we got our country back. And
:29:58. > :30:01.for that, I can never forget and thank him for everything he has
:30:02. > :30:08.done. I really appreciate all of that. Thank you, Nidal. -- Nigel.
:30:09. > :30:15.Ladies and gentlemen, we did it, didn't we? We just did it. Just
:30:16. > :30:20.three months ago, the great Brexiter referendum, the people chose hope
:30:21. > :30:25.over fear. -- the great Brexiteer from them. They voted for freedom,
:30:26. > :30:31.democracy, an independent Britain. They voted to leave the EU. And what
:30:32. > :30:35.a battle it was. From the north to the south, from the east to the
:30:36. > :30:40.West, 17.4 million people voted for a new beginning. For a more
:30:41. > :30:50.confident nation. And for a brighter future. Project via fail. -- project
:30:51. > :30:54.via fail. So many of us knew that the government would resort to such
:30:55. > :30:58.desperate politics. It also failed so much country because people only
:30:59. > :31:06.via something if they have something to lose. If your wages have been
:31:07. > :31:08.pushed down by large-scale migration, you don't via George
:31:09. > :31:14.Osborne telling you that jobs apocalypse will come. If you can't
:31:15. > :31:18.get on the housing ladder or your children are paying too high a rent,
:31:19. > :31:23.you don't fear the Bank of England warning the housing market will
:31:24. > :31:27.collapse. If you can't get to see a doctor, or your children or at over
:31:28. > :31:31.crowded schools, you can't pay gas bills that are rising, you don't
:31:32. > :31:37.fear President Obama telling Britain to stay in the EU.
:31:38. > :31:51.APPLAUSE When we asked the ambassador to the
:31:52. > :32:01.United Kingdom how many free trade agreements were in place, he said
:32:02. > :32:07.none. I said if Britain left and we applied, we would be at the front of
:32:08. > :32:11.the queue. Strange logic. So much has been ignored by the coalition of
:32:12. > :32:15.the comfortable. The metropolitan elite whose disdainful and snobbish
:32:16. > :32:25.attitudes to those who voted leaves have been a stain on our democracy.
:32:26. > :32:28.APPLAUSE To you conference, and to those of
:32:29. > :32:34.you in the audience and listening at home, I'm proud of you for ignoring
:32:35. > :32:39.project fear and embracing project hope. I am so proud of you for
:32:40. > :32:46.standing up for those people who have been ignored and marginalised.
:32:47. > :32:52.Without Ukip, there would be no Brexit. But most of all I am proud
:32:53. > :32:56.of the 17.4 million people who voted to leave and stood up for their
:32:57. > :33:07.children's future and that of our nation. APPLAUSE
:33:08. > :33:12.Of course now that we have won the referendum, the remainder is art
:33:13. > :33:22.attempting to block the Democratic vote. -- remainers are attempting to
:33:23. > :33:25.block. Rumour has it the EU is attempting to create a subsidised
:33:26. > :33:29.music show to win the hearts and minds of Brits so that we won't
:33:30. > :33:40.leave. Apparently it's based on the TV show, So You Think You Can Dance.
:33:41. > :33:51.It is called, So You Think You Can Leave? LAUGHTER So far only three
:33:52. > :33:55.bands have applied. The first are called The Remoaners. It has Nick
:33:56. > :33:59.Clegg on the fading symbols, Tim Farron on the Kazuo and the lead
:34:00. > :34:08.Whaler is Nicola Sturgeon! LAUGHTER APPLAUSE
:34:09. > :34:23.And apparently they want to perform Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love
:34:24. > :34:29.EU. The next band are called the Lose 48%. Eddie Izzard is on the
:34:30. > :34:33.pink Chubut, Bob Geldof is on a rather large for corn, and JK
:34:34. > :34:43.Rowling is on an imaginary flute singing Sinead O Connor's Nothing
:34:44. > :34:54.Compares to EU. My favourite is the final band called Jean-Claude Euan
:34:55. > :35:00.Kerr and The Commissioners. -- Jean-Claude Juncker and the The
:35:01. > :35:16.Commissioners. They are not sure whether it should be called Red Red
:35:17. > :35:26.Wine or, Papa's Got A New EU. There is a new TV channel called Britain's
:35:27. > :35:40.Got Balls. APPLAUSE The headline acts are singing Don't
:35:41. > :35:43.Cry For Me, European Union. Ladies and gentlemen, a new error of Brexit
:35:44. > :35:47.is one that we can and should look forward to. We must be honest and
:35:48. > :35:52.say that this is a new era for all of us in this room, a new era for
:35:53. > :35:56.Ukip. The Brexit result has flipped politics on its head, there is a
:35:57. > :36:01.hunger out there, especially in parts of the North and the Midlands,
:36:02. > :36:06.for real change. And Ukip can and must gain strength to win the hearts
:36:07. > :36:11.and minds of those people. Brexit will not solve all of those problems
:36:12. > :36:15.at once. They are deep-rooted issues that we face as the country and the
:36:16. > :36:19.old 2-party system has not sought to solve them. They have failed and
:36:20. > :36:24.this is our chance. We must face up to the fact millions of people up
:36:25. > :36:28.and down our nation have no stake in this country, because this country
:36:29. > :36:33.has not invested in them. It has left them on lower wages with poor

:36:42. > :36:46.facing the elderly. We must not turn our backs, we must not presume the
:36:47. > :36:49.job is done. We must stand up and represent those millions of
:36:50. > :36:54.hard-working people in the country that have been let down by the two
:36:55. > :36:59.establishment parties, let down by the old politics. The Labour Party
:37:00. > :37:05.once believed it championed our workers. But decades have been run

:37:14. > :37:16.elitists has seen Labour abandon its working-class base. It's now
:37:17. > :37:24.imploding in front of our eyes. APPLAUSE
:37:25. > :37:28.Ukip did not and will not turn its back on these people, we will listen
:37:29. > :37:33.when immigration concerns are raised and we will not demonise those who
:37:34. > :37:36.are not afraid to talk about the real issues they face in their
:37:37. > :37:40.day-to-day lives. We are proud of our flags and our history, we
:37:41. > :37:44.believe in Britain, and we believe in the ability and support of our
:37:45. > :37:50.peoples. It is our job to speak out for those who have been ignored,
:37:51. > :37:53.maligned and forgotten. We must provide a voice for the millions who
:37:54. > :37:59.have been deserted by the Tories and the Labour Party. And it is in this
:38:00. > :38:04.decade that we must make a breakthrough and a major
:38:05. > :38:09.breakthrough, in Westminster. That is why I believe that the team that
:38:10. > :38:14.Diane will create will execute a winning strategy for our party.
:38:15. > :38:20.While we must change and adapt to succeed, we mustn't forget who we
:38:21. > :38:24.are and what unites us as a party. Ukip believes in freedom. Ukip is
:38:25. > :38:31.the party that believes we only succeed as a nation when we all
:38:32. > :38:35.succeed together. From the landscape gardener to the landed gentry. We
:38:36. > :38:40.are a party that doesn't shy away from talking about the big issues we
:38:41. > :38:46.face as a country, but rather a party which tackles them head-on. We
:38:47. > :38:49.are a party which seeks to provide a voice for the vulnerable and for
:38:50. > :38:53.those at the bottom of the economic ladder, and we are the party who
:38:54. > :39:03.will speak for the aspirations of the hard-working Brit. We are a
:39:04. > :39:10.party that believes GDP and economic output are not the only ways of
:39:11. > :39:15.delivering success for our nation. It is access to vital security,
:39:16. > :39:19.services and our identity that are more important. We must deal with
:39:20. > :39:24.the growing lack of social mobility in our society through a more
:39:25. > :39:28.diverse education system, and I know it's been stolen, but we must ensure
:39:29. > :39:32.that grammar schools are forced through for every town in this
:39:33. > :39:46.country, so I know that people like me get a chance to achieve. APPLAUSE
:39:47. > :39:51.From housing to education, from jobs to health, life expectancy to mental
:39:52. > :39:58.health provision, our country is becoming more divided. I love my
:39:59. > :40:02.country, and its people. But we must together must speak up when we are
:40:03. > :40:07.heading in the wrong direction. Brexit gives us the opportunity to
:40:08. > :40:12.build a better Britain, and Ukip is a force for good in British
:40:13. > :40:15.politics. So we must all Unite as one movement, so let's walk
:40:16. > :40:21.hand-in-hand together to ensure that Brexit really does mean Brexit, and
:40:22. > :40:25.take the fight to the political establishment for years to come. Our
:40:26. > :40:50.country needs us. APPLAUSE Thank you.
:40:51. > :40:55.Right. It's time for a cup of tea. I'm having one, I recommend you do
:40:56. > :41:55.to! Thanks. Thank you very much for that warm
:41:56. > :41:59.welcome and good morning conference! We did it, didn't we? We did it! We
:42:00. > :42:04.achieved what we set out to do. We have succeeded in getting ourselves
:42:05. > :42:15.out of this sclerotic out of date European union. And aren't we
:42:16. > :42:16.getting off this juggernaut just at the right
