Green Party of England and Wales From The Guardians Politics Live rolling Blog: 3.57 - The Green party has condemned the governments plans for a curb on benefits for EU migrants. This is from Office of Keith Taylor MEP, the Green MEP for south east England. A great tragedy of the latest round of immigration myth-making is the utter reluctance of the old political parties to stand up to the Tories on this. Wed expect nothing sensible from Ukip, of course, but for the Lib-Dems and Labour to perpetuate these myths is deeply disappointing. This hard-talking rhetoric from the government is based on myths. We know that the effects of so-called benefits tourists has been shown to be hugely overblown. Indeed we also know that the UK makes full use of free movement in Europe with hundreds of thousands of British Nationals living in other EU countries. Yet time and time again the government shift the blame for the problems we face onto new arrivals in the UK. The proposal to deport rough sleepers from other EU countries is truly cruel.
