Only factor Keir Starmer’s migrant robust speak achieves is making Yvette Cooper squirm | Politics | News | EUROtoday

Quick pop quiz for you: Q1 – Who mentioned “We have to make the case for the benefits of migration and the benefits of free movement”? Q2 – Who took the final Labour authorities to court docket over its resolution to disclaim welfare advantages to asylum seekers? Q3 – Whose promotional video proudly boasts “he battled alongside Jeremy Corbyn against the Tory Brexit?” If you answered Sir Keir Rodney (you plonker!) Starmer to all three, give your self a pat on the again. He’s a faker isn’t he? Of course he’s; I doubt lots of you’re falling off your chairs in shock at that declare. And in fact faker is a pleasant method of claiming liar.

I used to be gratified that so many within the media picked-up on my parallels with Enoch Powell yesterday as Sir Keir acquired all ‘Rivers of Blood’ on us whereas asserting his new White Paper (Suzanna Reid on Good Morning Britain immediately used the Powell line fabulously to bait and hook Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, who flapped like a landed trout as she tried pathetically to keep away from the query).

But it’s only a political brickbat – it doesn’t assist carry down migration. And nor will Keir, this White Paper, or the Labour Party.

It appears mind-boggling too that those that would rule us (and Sadiq Khan I’m you) are actually arguing over Keir’s alternative phrase “island of strangers” and worrying it’d sound a bit imply, relatively than going through the very fact immigration has modified our island past recognition… and I don’t bear in mind anybody ever asking for that change.

Successive governments lied to us, after which have been too weak, too spineless and too inept to do something to cease the tidal wave that they had created.

This authorities is not any totally different, it simply piles lies upon lies. Stamer, as is obvious from the above, will say something, ANYTHING, to get elected.

The uber-lefty pro-migration quotes above have been fodder for a Labour Party video aimed toward getting left-wingers to vote for him.

The thick-necked, too-many-bloody-immigrants, speech he gave whereas asserting the immigration White Paper yesterday was thus not more than a ridiculous posture from a quintessential Islington ceremonial dinner fop to attraction to the working courses up north who’ve gone over to Nigel’s social gathering of their thousands and thousands.

You might recall Keir’s very first political act was to scrap the Rwanda deportation scheme. It was an ill-considered, however indicative resolution as a result of, nuts because it was, the very menace of Rwanda deportations was already beginning to work. But that’s the actual Keir – an instinctive Lefty – and I urge you to beware the proto Trotskyist in Tory clothes.

He’s the type of man who, till yesterday’s emergency PR spin, would have sneered and mouthed “racist” underneath his breath at anybody exhibiting the slightest concern that immigration may be the teeniest bit uncontrolled.

And I don’t learn about you, however I for one am heartily sick at having to really feel like some kind of bigot as a result of I’m barely involved we’re importing males (and it’s ALWAYS males) from nations and cultures the place racism, misogyny and homophobia are just about the norm.

But in fact it’s an article of religion that immigrant communities (at the very least till a couple of generations down the road) vote Labour – in fact they do. And so Labour courts the vote and bends the knee to cultural norms they might normally despise.

And in fact this White Paper is nothing however an train in spin. There’s a bit concerning the size of time overseas college students can keep with out getting an honest job, an try to encourage enterprise to make use of Brit staff, extra emphasis on studying English, and some different meaningless ins and outs.

But nothing about stopping unlawful immigration which is hovering to file ranges once more, nor, critically about leaving the ECHR – that monumentally old-fashioned bastion of authorized graft and a assured get-out-of-jail card for each migrant. There is gaslighting happening right here too.

When the Windrush era came visiting, between 1945 and the early Nineteen Seventies, about 500,000 folks from the Commonwealth arrived on these shores over 1 / 4 of a century.

These have been folks a battered post-war Britain invited – truly begged – to return and assist rebuild a grateful mom nation. Crucially, these households additionally shared a tradition, broadly Christian, democratic and really pro-Britain.

More lately in a single yr alone – 2023 – internet migration, from god alone is aware of the place, and plenty of cultures largely at odds with Britain’s tolerant democracy, was double that at simply wanting a million.

Even if each immigration management is efficient the annual internet migration determine is predicted to be extra 300,000 – a metropolis roughly the scale of Leicester yearly, with all of the implications that has for faculties, housing, the NHS, and the advantages system. And we might be anticipated to be pleased about that.

Does that sound like a profitable migrant coverage to you? No, me neither.
