Everybody agrees with that general principle and it has nothing whatever to do with the EU because we’re signed up to international conventions under the UN and the Geneva convention. Of course it’s right that refugees should be given asylum and protection from the countries where they can’t live in safety. But economic migration is a fact of life in Europe. Millions of people are queuing up on the borders of the European Union, which are porous, and there has to be a European solution to this. It can’t just be left to chance where millions of people manage to get through the system, end up at Calais, and are queuing up to come across the channel. There has to be a managed process, but there has to be a limitation because, if immigration is uncontrolled into this country, all kinds of social complications are created and the people who lose out most of all are those at the bottom of the income scale, the most disadvantaged, the most under privileged in society, whom the Labour Party, I thought, was actually brought into being to protect.
