Ending free movement

'We want to create the toughest system in the EU for dealing with abuse of free movement … Accepting the principle of free movement of workers is a key to being part of the single market. A market from which Britain has benefited enormously. So we do not want to destroy that principle or turn it on its head … But freedom of movement has never been an unqualified right, and we now need to allow it to operate on a more sustainable basis in the light of the experience of recent years.'(2014) [http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2010/nov/21/david-cameron-immigration-cap-economy]


British citizens using free movement

'Our membership of the EU allows British people free movement to travel, live and work in other European countries, and some 1.4 million British citizens exercise that right – including several hundred thousand in Spain alone. The same freedom of movement is true for EU nationals coming to Britain…In fact, in recent years the numbers coming here from the EU, and the numbers leaving here to go to other EU countries, have been broadly in balance.' (2013) [http://mashable.com/2014/11/28/david-cameron-immigration/]


Failure of integration

'When there have been significant numbers of new people arriving in neighbourhoods, perhaps not able to speak the same language as those living there, on occasions not really wanting or even willing to integrate, that has created a kind of discomfort and disjointedness in some neighbourhoods.'
