More EU 'madness'?
Quote:
European ministers have devised a dramatic plan to solve the migration crisis, offering a series of sweeteners in exchange for sending illegal migrants back to Africa.
They will provide cash and visa deals to persuade African countries to take back some of the 800,000 people who have flooded across the Mediterranean into Europe this year.
But in return, the proposed deal will give thousands of African students, doctors and entrepreneurs an open door to move into the European Union.
Officials are preparing to justify the highly controversial arrangement by saying only professionals who will contribute to society will be allowed into the EU.

I'd have thought qualified people, doctors, entrepreneurs etc. are just the sort of people we ought to be encouraging to stay put in order to benefit their own countries. We're only just emerging from a medical crisis in which doctors/nurses from all around the world were sent to Africa in order to contain the ebola outbreak.
If Cameron can't by now see what sort of people he's dealing with and how broken the EU is he must be as stupid/misguided as they are. Perhaps he believes we should stay in the EU no matter what the cost - shackling us to a sinking ship. It'll be interesting to see what his stance is when he finds that nothing of any significance is going to change as a result of his 'negotiations'.

On Tuesday, he will use a major speech to make his strongest threat so far that he could recommend an “out” vote if Europe turns a “deaf ear” to British requests for change.
However, some of Mr Cameron’s own Cabinet ministers have privately given up hope that he will secure the kind of radical changes to Britain’s EU membership that they want.
