Prime Minister David Cameron said Britain must ‘say no’ to Eastern European migrant workers and allow young Britons to better compete with immigrants for jobs, reports The Daily Telegraph
In a speech to car factory employees in Cowley, near Oxford, Cameron said in some UK factories up to half the staff were from countries such as Poland and Lithuania.
