Press Release: Business leaders condemn Nigel Farage for branding Romanian migrants ‘criminals’


Pro-European business leaders have condemned UKIP leader Nigel Farage for claiming that Romanian migrants had a "culture of criminality" and that Britons should be "wary" of Romanians who come and live on their street.

Farage made the comments in a Guardian interview, where he also linked concerns over EU migration to the number of Romanians who are arrested in the UK.

Alisdair McIntosh, Director of Business for New Europe, said:

"These comments show us what Nigel Farage is really thinking: not that EU migrants are bad for Britain's economy as he sometimes claims, but that he doesn't like them, branding them 'criminals' and discriminating on the basis of their nationality.

"There are thousands of Romanian migrants in the UK working hard and supporting our economy, as entrepreneurs, doctors, nurses and all kinds of other professions. Now we can see why UKIP don't mind taking votes that used to go to the BNP as there seem to be many similarities in their views."

According to the Sunday Times, Clegg and Cameron are split on civil partnerships According to the Sunday Times, Clegg and Cameron are split on civil partnerships

David Cameron and Nick Clegg are reportedly split on the issue of opening civil partnerships to all couples.

According to the Sunday Times, Cameron could veto plans to open up civil partnerships to all couples in England and Wales, as he believes it will undermine the ‘sanctity of marriage’.

During discussion of the same-sex marriage bill last year, initial proposals to open up civil partnerships to straight couples were removed in favour of a public consultation into their future, which could see them opened up or abolished.

The consultation closed earlier this month, but the Times claims that the government is still divided on the issue.

The paper reports that Clegg and the Liberal Democrats favour opening up civil partnerships to all couples, following the model in New Zealand and the Netherlands, where couples can choose between a partnership or a marriage.

However, Cameron could reportedly veto the proposals, which he fears would ‘undermine the sanctity of marriage’ and alienate Tory voters.

A government source said that the two parties were at a ‘stalemate’ over the issue, saying: “Cameron sees it as undermining marriage and the [Conservative] party’s objection is largely driven by fear of a rebellion.”

Rights campaigner Peter Tatchell has repeatedly called for all couples to have the choice of a civil partnership, writing: “to deny opposite-sex couples the right to have a civil partnership is discrimination and discrimination is wrong”.

Gary Streeter, Conservative MP for South West Devon and chairman of Christians in Parliament, told the Times: “The horse has bolted on this. What’s the point [of extending civil partnerships] when we could leave well alone and move on? Let’s talk about something that will win the election.”

Do you realize, with your misspellings to get around the banned words, you're acting just like HF and VOD did?

 

Phil' seems to have the same problems with "Christians" these days ~ blaming them for all of the world's ills ~ that the old Nige' is having with those Romanians raping their horses, killing their wimmin and stealing their children...

No, he's far too childish for that. Frankly I doubt he's given a single thought to any of the world's ills if they don't affect him. He's only insulting Christians on here to wind up other posters. As I said, childish.
