A Dire Lesson for Australia:
How Labour drowned Britain in immigrants
Andrew Bolt
What an astonishing turn-around there has been in the debate about immigration in Britain, as even the Left contemplates (too late!) what it’s now wrought. Here is Rod Liddle, a former speechwriter for Labour, in theSunday Times:
There is something a little pitiful watching Gordon Brown tell the country how worried he is about immigration, and how it must not be a taboo issue… The only reason Brown is addressing the issue now is that we are six months away from an election and he fears that the troglodyte BNP thickoes will chew away great big gobfuls of angry working-class voters…
It is little more than lip service from the (unelected) prime minister and, worse, unaccompanied by even the vaguest admission that his government has let its people down.
We know from the Labour backbencher Chris Mullin’s diaries that ministers would not address the issue of immigration because they were terrified of being called racist: so they did nothing. More recently, the former home office adviser Andrew Neather suggested that the Labour government threw open the doors to vast numbers of immigrants precisely in order to create a truly multicultural Britain, whether or not the British public wanted such a thing (every opinion poll suggests that they did not).
Labour ministers insist that the previous Conservative government was lax on immigration, too — but that is a specious argument. In 2006 nearly 600,000 immigrants entered Britain, more than 10 times the number who arrived in the last year of John Major’s government; the scale of difference has been beyond reasonable comparison. We should be clear: immigration is primarily Labour’s mess, and it was a deliberate policy…
Brown wishes to capture the votes of the white working class by talking about immigration but not actually doing anything about it. They in turn resent, rightly or wrongly, the fact that their communities have been changed beyond recognition; that street crime figures are up exponentially; that it’s harder to acquire social housing; and that they are priced out of jobs. This is unpalatable to many, but it is how a lot of people feel.
It would be far more honest of the government if it said: tough luck, Labour voters — we want a cheaper unskilled and semi-skilled workforce and we have no moral or intellectual objection to your towns and cities being transformed by huge numbers of people who may not share your cultural values.

Labour won’t get in again. Blue-collar voters will not be loyal to such a betrayer and Brown is not respected. He just thinks he is.
It’s what we suspected all along, that it was a deliberate policy. The same thing is happening to the USA where that blasted Ted Kennedy pushed through a change to US immigration policy to allow the third world to pour in. I think it was in the late 1960’s. It’s too late for the UK, but there is still time for the US to mostly reverse the process by restricting immigrants from the third world (and keep Muslims out).
Even if Labour loses in a grand way, their viable opponents hardly vary from them and all the diversity assets remain in place the day after the election.
Helen Clark’s Labour govt did the same thing in NZ..She was always going on about ”an inclusive society .” Now Australians are very unhappy about all these ” five minute” NZers going to Aussie.
” Open borders” is a well known socialist /communist policy.
Destroy Brown and Blair at the next election. Unfortunately Cameron is just as bad. KRUDD and co have to go as well.
The UK’s problem is that their main opposition the Tories are just ‘Labour Lite’ with all the same PC MC Islamophile moonbat insanity and THAT is the reason people are turning to radical options like the BNP because the mainstream parties have completely lost touch with reality and with the UK voters. It is also of course why moonbats DEMONIZE the BNP because they are scared of them.
Try reading the BNPs manifesto, it’s economics are left wing and they’d be as incompetent as labour. the conservatives are a slightly better option (but not much)… UKIP are quite a reasonable party but haven’t got the clout… so basically Britain is completely screwed. The damage done by labour in the last 12 years could turn out to be terminal…
was reading an American SciFi novel the other day and came across a quote from Churchill….
“Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will say “This was their finest hour”.
To the House of Commons, 1940.
69 years on and we’re not even teaching British history in our schools. The price of socialism!
BNP thickos?
At least they’ve got the sense to see the liblabcontrick for what it is.
We don’t want our country swamped by welfare devouring savages.
We don’t want our troops being used as target practice in shitholes.
We don’t want to be part of a corrupt undemocratic EUSSR.
I expect we’ve got a lot more sense than the cretins who keep voting for more of the same
P.S
Just wait for the next few months when the press start their campaign to heard people away from the BNP,into the arms of the troughing UKIP. (nothing against most UKIP members who generally share the same vies as the BNP membership)
BNP will go from strength to strength.
I have been in work, all of my working life(21 years) ,until March of this year.I was living in a bubble;i was paid once a week,went home to the missus;we were happy.After redundancy,up until this comment,i have found NO work in my trade(freelance civil engineer);i also find that i am overqualified for any work, other than my usual vocation.
In short,i have woken up and looked around(having now the time to do so).
I know of at least three instances in which recent immigrants,without command of the English language,are working in my sector;in my humble opinion,this is highly unfair,and should be classed as criminal.
After watching with interest,the Glasgow by-election,i realise that i have been placing the blame in the wrong direction:the fact our country is in dire straits is not down to the Labour government;we should know exactly what sort of behaviour to expect from them,taking in to consideration their track record(especially since the Iraq debacle)
The blame is in the electorate`s court:those who cant be bothered to drag their sorry arses away from the X-Factor,the Jeremy Kyle show,their Playstations and their sweet and sour Pot-Noodles`.They are that short sighted,they dont realise that the impetus for change is all in their mark(even those who cant read or write,or;heaven forbid,immigrants without English,can form a cross on a piece of paper!)
Up the B.N.P;any other is just traitorous!
I think ille move to Glasgow;it sounds like being on the dole,surrounded by foreignors is great fun up there.So much so,they have voted them back in AGAIN!-utter madness!
