            Immigration Nation: Nigel Farage

Leader of the UK Independence Party, Nigel Farage goes to Bulgaria to scare monger and stir up a story taking advantage of recent media interest regarding EU work restrictions being lifted from some of the less affluent members - Bulgaria and Romania "I think it is completely irresponsible, and wrong. In fact damned stupid to be opening up our doors to people from Bulgaria. If I was a Bulgarian, I would be packing my bags now". Well as it turns out perhaps Nigel's got it so wrong he's completely Bean'd up the whole trip and the political incentive for visiting, as numerous Bulgarians - including a Gypsy leader - reply: "No no, lots of rain, we are not used to the climate", and "I think that the culture there (UK) is lower, even though the people are richer".


Well Done Niiiige.




If you are Bulgarian or Romanian I would be really interested to hear what you think about Nigel Farage's visit to Sofia. Does he have his finger on the pulse of public opinion? Will the lifted EU work restrictions make the UK a tempting migration location for work? Or does the UK's failing economy mean the incentive is simply not great enough? What are the main reasons for and against such a consideration? I warmly invite your comments wherever you are from!

I am very sorry to hear of the recent fatality of Andrew 'Bart' James Simpson. He was a former World Champion and Olympian sailor from Surrey - very local to me. He recently passed away whilst racing in the America's Cup in San Francisco at the age of 36. He won a Gold Medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a silver in the London 2012 Olympics. 



With deepest sympathy I wish his family good fortune and send my condolences.
