    Put it another way Austerity is responsible for poor services, not immigrants. Immigrants wee just a convenient way of avoiding the issues and fomenting discontent with the EU.

    .

    or putting it another way, we need to increase taxes and/or borrow more

    Michael Gove today:

    Bosses of big companies aren't going to get £5m salary.

    Immigration will be controlled by Oz type points system.

    We'll get hundred of thousands of houses built every year - including social housing!

    Given that Shakespeare is in the news of late (Johnson's Brutus quote yesterday), can I reply with Hamlet to Polonius:

    'Words, words, words' ;)

    Note: win, draw or lose (not 'loose' - opposite of tight!)

    Gove gave a surprising speech. Says big business and globalisation isn't working for ordinary people. Criticized high pay in top jobs and wasn't very polite to The City, who gave huge bonuses to people who 'just got lucky'

    It wasn't what I expected to hear from someone having ambitions to be Tory leader. I was impressed.

    In order to be prime minister of this country, you need to be an exceptional person... I don’t think I have got that exceptional level of ability required for the job.

    I don't want to be united with people who dislike immigrants.

    I thought the best way to achieve change was to be sat at the same table as the people you disagree with?

    Wasn't that a core argument for the remain side?

    with long term unemployment at 1% and the economy well on track and recovering from the recession what was the change that we needed to achieve?

    Reducing the EU migration figures from about 150,000 a year to zero? Why when clearly the world is becoming more global and fluid. The UK is going to become a no migration developed nation while all others embrace migration? well we will have Japan as a low migration country example and I dont expect them to do that well over the next 50 years

    For Vote Leave, Priti Patel, the Employment Minister, claimed: “It is becoming clear that our membership of the EU is putting the NHS under threat….What we get back from the EU is a city the size of Newcastle (population 288,000) of new immigrants to the UK every year. Current levels of migration are causing unsustainable pressures on our public services and we can see that the NHS is creaking under the strain.”

    thats a positive..
    BTW the brexit camp never said there going to spend all the EU money , contribution on the NHS.
    I cant find anything word for word?
