"Mr Goebbels, you asked about border controls. Yes, Britain is not in the Schengen system, but we still suffer from the effects of it because it is very much easier for people to get to Calais and make that final hop over to Britain.
You are quite right: even though we are supposed to have border controls, immigration policy is a disaster in my country. This is not just because of the European Union, it is because of the complete inability and lack of will on the part of British governments to actually put in proper immigration controls and carry them out. So I agree with you that this is a disaster in my country that is not entirely of the making of the EU.
In answer to Ms Morvai’s question regarding the free movement of people: no, we do not believe in the free movement of peoples in my party. We believe in controlled immigration and controlled border policy. We do not want to stop immigrants; we do not want to stop people coming. But we want this to be controlled by our government in the interests of the British people, and not in the interests of a political ideology which they do not share.
If you are going to control people, it is a lot easier to do that than capital, which is often numbers on a computer, so I understand the problems there. We want to see policies in a whole range of areas that are in the interests of the British people, and then ultimately in the interests of everybody else."@en1
