Nigel Farage criticised by 1st Romanian migrant worker to arrive in UK after controls relaxed

“I don’t tell them to come here,” Victor Spirescu, 30, told the Daily Telegraph.

Mr Spirescu, who arrived in Britain on 1 January last year, now working as a construction worker in east London, continued that it was “hard” to save money, adding that he had no intention of going on benefits but had to rely on “luck” to make money.

He criticised Ukip’s leader Mr Farage, telling a reporter: “He speaks lots of stupid things,” and adding: “He has a problem with immigrants – but he has an immigrant wife”.
