MIGRATION REPORT WELCOMED
MEP Godfrey Bloom today welcomed a new report which has highlighted the ‘remarkable coincidence’ between the rise in youth unemployment in the UK and the huge surge in immigration from Eastern Europe over the last eight years.
The report by think-tank Migration Watch UK shows an apparent correlation between this surge and the growth in UK youth unemployment that followed.
"This report shows what we have been arguing for years," said Mr Bloom, UKIP Euro-MP for Yorkshire & North Lincolnshire.
"As Sir Andrew Green, Migration Watch chairman says when the two statistics are placed side by side people would consider it a very remarkable coincidence if there was no link at all between them.
"This situation is not going to improve while we remain in the EU as we are powerless to stop this endless stream of immigrants, in this case mainly from the former Soviet-bloc countries," said Mr Bloom.
"The previous Government claimed that migration from these A8 countries has had virtually no impact on UK youth unemployment in this period - this would appear to nail that lie," he added.

SURVEY RESULTS WELCOMED
A new survey revealing that most people in this country want to leave the EU has been welcomed by UKIP Euro-MP Godfrey Bloom.
The online survey shows this is the national view by almost a 2:1 majority and a vast 83% majority would vote against the UK adopting the Euro.
"The results do not surprise me and it demonstrates that there must be a referendum to reflect the will of the people. But of course the major parties reject the wishes of the population," said Mr Bloom, MEP for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.
The Angus Reid poll shows that in the North of the country 28% would vote to stay in the the EU and 44% would vote to leave.
"It also reveals that in the North 58% agree with David Cameron's rejection of a new treaty aimed at tightening fiscal rules for European countries that use the euro, and only 19% disagree.
"But of course Cameron has no intention of either giving us a referendum or leaving the EU and the City of London is still in jeopardy with the proposed Financial Transaction Tax.
"He must block this proposal which is not in our interests. It will be immensely damaging and cannot be allowed to happen," said Mr Bloom, UKIP's economic spokesman.
"It is not surprising that the only other country apart from Britain which is unhappy with the Franco-German proposal is Sweden. After all they are the only country to have introduced an FTT.
"Their Finance Minister, Anders Borg has explained that when they began taxing financial transactions in the 1980s, between 90%-99% of traders in bonds, equities and derivatives moved out of Stockholm to London.
"It brought in very little tax money while moving most of the businesses outside of Sweden and our country would suffer in the same way.
"The EU in its desperation to raise funds to support its failed economic experiment must not be allowed to destroy the City of London."

EURO LAUNCH LAMBASTED
Local UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom has branded the EU lauding the 10th anniversary of the Euro with a celebratory statement and release of commemorative two-Euro coins as "deeply inappropriate."
Coinciding with the launch, a Greek government official threatened to leave the Euro if his country does not get the money it wants.
Mr Bloom, UKIP's Economics spokesman, said, "Olli Rehn, the EU Economic Affairs Commissioner must be auditioning for Alice in Wonderland.
"Greece is threatening to pull out of the currency but he only talks of 'political will, strong determination and swift action to restore economic growth'. The markets must be laughing.
"They are living a cruel pipe dream when they claim that 'the fundamental purpose of economic and monetary union and the euro was - and still is - to allow the European economy to function better, create more jobs and a better life for Europeans'.
"It is damaging the economy, destroying jobs and causing nightmares for millions across the continent. This cruel charade must end.
"To launch a commemorative coin illustrating the families, business and trade it has undermined, closed and harmed is contemptuous of the very real problems this political construction has caused.
"That this is happening on the very day that Greek Government spokesman, Pantelis Kapsis has said, 'The bailout agreement needs to be signed otherwise we will be out of the markets, out of the euro,' just shows how out of touch the EU really is. The Mad Hatters are definitely in charge," said Mr Bloom.
