"Mr President, here is a really extraordinary statistic. Over the past four years the United Kingdom has created more jobs than the other 27 members of the European Union combined. There are various ingredients that went into that formula.
There were changes to the welfare system, there was the removal of a number of low-paid workers from income tax altogether, but one of the things that did not go into it was trying to create jobs by spending money, as this budget proposes. Even if you or I were directly to say ʽI am going to create a job by employing someone in my officeʼ, I think we both understand that this would be taking more money out of the private sector than goes into the job. There is always a net loss, which is why the European Union is falling behind, why we are on the only continent on the planet that is not growing.
One specific point in my remaining time on this budget: it is impossible on the amendment to do with subsidising fighting bulls to distinguish between the ones that might be raised for the plaza and the ones which are not, because almost all of the
end up in the food chain anyway. This was therefore a declamatory, rather than practical, amendment. It would have had absolutely no impact, and if you are against subsidising fighting bulls the only solution is to withdraw from the common agricultural policy."@en1
