A top Eurocrat has been described as 'robotically toeing the company line' after arguing Britain should stop moaning about problems caused here by European immigrants.
Laszio Andor, EU Commissioner for employment, claims that EU migration is good for the UK and instead of complaining about pressure on schools, hospital and housing we should be building immigrants homes.
"These are ridiculous views from someone truly indoctrinated in the autocratic Brussels power game and they do not accord with the British public's views," said Deputy UKIP leader, Paul Nuttall.
"Our whole infrastructure is creaking at the seams as the result of mass immigration, particularly in recent years from eastern Europe, but he is blithely suggesting we just invest in more facilities to cope with the influx.
"He insists that migration from other EU countries is good for us. Well he doesn't live in areas where not only is there no room in the inn but there's no room in the schools or hospitals either.
"The answer is not more but less immigration, we're full up, we're fed up and we're broke. Instead of robotically toeing the company line, as Commissioners have to do to keep their place at the trough, he should accept the flaws in the free movement of workers policy," said Mr Nuttall, North West MEP.
"We need to regain control of our borders and consequently our population numbers, and the only way to do so is to leave the EU," he added.
