Is it true that the Labour party deliberately allowed illegal immigration to?

Question

Is it true that the Labour party in the U.K "deliberately" allowed illegal non white immigration to continue just so they could use this against the Tories and accuse them of all being racist who opposed all the illegal immigration. If it is true that's sounds pretty sick in the head and desperate.

Additional Details

It was revealed earlier this year that a more open door policy was decided upon by the labour government, it was not limited to non white immigrants but I believe they were using the policy to affect the tory party in one way or another.

To me this is a form of tyranny. How and why do you put up with people in your Government who think they have the right to abuse their power like this.

I found this article.

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I am surprised that people do not believe that a pseudo Communist party would not use any method to stay in power indefinitely , Communism has proved time and time again its ruthless power hunger and its complete indifference to peoples freedoms . You now have a situation were 40% of the voting public have a vested interest in labour staying in power . A very dangerous balance because the wealth creators and workers are not forever going to support a 40% living in indulgence from the sweat of their efforts . One of two things will happen either many will move elsewhere , or join the bandwagon who then will pay the piper.

Answer 2

It's a fact.

Answer 3

Yes. There were no non-white immigrants in the UK before 1997. I wasn't the only white man in the street in 1980s Brixton, it was all imaginary.

Answer 4

That sounds ridiculous, its pretty obvious the general public would be averse to so much immigration so how could they expect to stay in power? So they would end their reign just for one dig at the Tories? doesnt make sense to me.

Answer 6

oh come on, any-one with any brains can see this is a load of crap
what would be the point in any party in letting in illegal immigrants if they can not vote ?

Answer 7

They didn't allow it just turned a blind eye and released the figures 5 years late, the labour party are professional vote scroungers. All political parties scrounge votes and use dirty tricks. But labour played on one of the oldest tricks in the book try to make out anybody who was against mass immigration a racist. Nobody wants to be branded as a racist so that's how labour cheated the electorate. They count on blind liberals to back them up and use bullying tactics, finger pointing if anybody dares speak out.

Answer 8

Of course it's not true.

Why would any party do that, unless they never wanted to ever be in Government again and therefore inherit that very problem?

EDIT: AS a couple of people have mentioned it, here is the link with the clarification of the report that various biased media pushed at us, with their own biased spin on it...

http://www.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/5…

Read that, and the 'Grauniad' link that 'Drawing Board' posted, and consider if its more likely than NuLabour letting immigrants in for nothing but spite.......

Answer 9

It is hard to believe, but it's been very widely reported. Just Google:

labour encouraged mass immigration

And see the number of reports that come up - there are dozens of pages.

The link below is to The Telegraph version of the story. I admit The Telegraph is not exactly unbiased. But lots of other media have run the story. And Government denials have been few and far between.

So do you believe the media - or New Labour. Not really a difficult choice.

EDIT: Anthony, get help.

EDIT: If you actually read the Guardian version of this story the facts are not really in dispute. All that is being challenged is the emphasis (or spin as New Labour would say).

New labour DID plan mass immigration. The Guardian version simply says the first reason was labour markets.

BUT - they did also want a "multi-cultural" society and they did hope it would be a problem for the Conservatives.

But strangely, I don't remember anything about mass immigration or what a great idea a multi-cultural society would be, in the Labour manifesto. Wonder why?

Answer 10

A former Labour adviser admitted that Labour allowed this to happen so they could upset the Tories. The fact that they sold their voters down the river didn't bother them. The only losers are the hard working British people

Answer 11

No, it isn't true, and the story was only about legal immigration anyway. Andrew Neather, the former government advisor who supposedly leaked the story, pointed out that his comments became distorted by the media and the government was allowing immigration in order to boost the economy, not for 'social engineering' or to annoy the Tories:

Answer 12

I think they have yes, and I know for a fact I won't ever vote labour again unless it radically changes. Not that the tories will be much better either...

Answer 13

The question and most of the answers, so far, reveal the state of ignorance some poor people live in.
The Tory-Lib-Labour frontbench puppets in Her Majesties Parliament jump to Her Majesties orders. It was the Head of State who signed this country into The Common Thieves Market, mass immigration and all that go’s with it, not her passing Prime Mouthpiece.
Some poor people still think the Queen's passing mouthpiece, Blah Blah Blair, was responsible for sending the Queen's troops into Iraq. Blaming the oily rag instead of the engineer ignores the bleeping obvious. If the British Head of State, like the Russian, French and German Heads of State, had refused to go along with the American Head of State. There never would have been a debate in Her Majesties Parliament on the false claim, rightly rejected by the Russian, French and German Heads of State, that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction - ergo no British involvement in an illegal war.
The Queen has around $16 Billion invested in Arabian oil wells. Her cousins, the Bush family, have similar widespread, albeit smaller, stakes in Arab oil.
To increase the royal fortune the Queen ordered her whipping boy to tell the blatant lie that Iraq could arm and fire nuclear missiles at London on 45 minutes notice. The Queen's favoured spooks whispered to doubting Members of Parliament that Blair's Weapons of Mass Destruction hysterics were probably true. That's how the Queen took Britain into an illegal war.

Answer 14

Labour are traitors to their country.
But don't for one minute think the cons would change things
They would keep the same open door Policy labour had
And just keep blaming it on labour for the next 10yrs.
If you realy want to STOP illegal immigration.
You need to look at the BNP or UKIP.

Answer 15

I would say the there is more than a 'grain of truth' in that statement.
Labour aided and abetted by the trades unions have turned a 'blind eye' to mass immigration as a means of suppressing wages and salaries.
When you place that along with the Labour Government allowing silently allowing jobs to be taken up by India and Far Eastern countries.
Until recently,Labour and the Trade Unions have stifled any adverse comments and criticism by saying it was racist to mention immigration in order to cover their tracks.
In my book;The Trade Unions are just as bad as the Labour Party for allowing this abuse of power to continue as they very well know it is to the detriment of the British worker,
This is an experiment orchestrated by Peter Mandelson and his 'dreamboat' companions of global workforce who would be able to move across frontiers to keep the British worker in his or her place.
If you do not believe that statement;Ask the oil workers who have lost their jobs at the root cause of foreign workers who have been drafted in.
What were the Unions doing to let such an event unfavourable to the British worker allowed to flourish?

Answer 16

Of course this was Labour policy.

The only reason you are asking the question
is that the BBC refused to report the story
and it didn't get as much publicity as the
expenses scandal for example.

However, this story is much more damaging
as it will run and run and the British working
class core vote in the north of England
will not ignore it.
