People
like to say Nigel Farage is a hypocrite as leader of UKIP, calling for
limits to immigration, all the while he has a German wife, and bilingual
German-British children. Well, if you want to maintain advantages for
Western European economies over their Eastern European counterparts (at
the expense of the working-class everywhere) then it's perfectly
consistent. Romania was practically destroyed
by Ceausescu's austerity (which has continued to this day) and now
people like Farage want to put up a wall to stop them from settling here
in search of work. Farage supports the conditions which destroyed the
life chances of those workers in Romania, just as he supports
Thatcherite policies in this country.
