The Conservatives are to call for strict quotas on the number of workers allowed into Britain from Bulgaria and Romania when the countries join the European Union in January. Damian Green, the Tory immigration spokesman, said the Government should learn the lesson from the "unprecedented numbers" who came to the United Kingdom - particularly from Poland - when the EU expanded in 2004.| I don't recall any Romanian splodydopes, Polish car bombers or Bulgarian spittle-spewers, do you? |
Britain imposed no restrictions and saw up to 600,000 arrive from Eastern Europe. The Government estimated that only 13,000 would come in. Last month unemployment climbed to 1.68 million amid claims that migration from Poland had swollen the total.
