"Madam President, as a British MEP, I – also on behalf of
country – take real exception to the insults being flung in Parliament this afternoon and also to being told what to do with reference to this migrant crisis – not a refugee crisis.
Not only is Germany the source of the problem, with its Siren-call to anyone and everyone coming to Europe, but now Germany seeks to offload the consequences of such an ill—judged, illiterate and incoherent policy by forcing Member States to take migrants, bear the costs involved and, fundamentally, dig Germany out of a self-created financial, social, humanitarian and political debacle. Not content with inflicting the migrant chaos on its own – in some cases, beleaguered – citizens, Germany is using bully-boy tactics to force this crisis on to its neighbours.
German domination might well mean that when Ms Merkel says jump, we all ask ‘How high?’, but I – on behalf of the United Kingdom and Britain – do not agree. Note that Germany has already made veiled threats about cutting finance to EU countries which have rejected these demands. It is threatening financial penalties on countries that will not cooperate and it has seemingly endorsed a EUR 780 million budget.
Well, quite frankly, this is a serious matter and it is one for sovereign national parliament decision, not the Mickey-Mouse decisions in this Chamber."@en1
