According to the Labour Party website the Labour Party have achieved the following in their time in power: Why Labour? The protection of our borders is fundamental to the future of our country. We are committed to building on the progress we have made to create a system in which people can have confidence, which […]
Continue Reading Labour Policies : Labour Asylum and Immigration Policy
Asylum and immigration are contentious issues where the average person in the street in my experience have a knee-jerk reaction, especially to immigration.
As a developed nation, especially one with a free health care system and relatively generous welfare state I understand we have to have controls on our borders.
I can see it’s frustrating for many British people to have paid into the system for decades only to find when they need help they don’t really get what they expected, but at the same time there is a strong perception immigrants (illegal or otherwise) enter this country and receive lots of help with giving nothing back.
I don’t know how true this perception is, the media certainly doesn’t help as they do give the impression our borders have been inundated by illegal immigrants looking to scrounge off the UK tax payer.
Also doesn’t help that the Labour government doesn’t deport all illegal immigrants quickly: I watched a documentary about illegal immigrants and the police were stopping people who acted suspiciously, when they found an illegal immigrant they let them go and told them to report to Boston in 14 days!! What is the point in spending tax payers money on finding illegal immigrants if they aren’t going to deport them?
I find very hard to believe people are coming to this country in mass illegally with no intentions of working, if you are an illegal immigrant you can’t claim much help from the government, yes you will receive free NHS treatment, but as I understand things they can not claim unemployment benefits etc…
As a trading nation it’s extremely important for us to have a well trained and flexible work force, as I see it under the last Conservative government apprenticeships were pretty much destroyed: I remember the YTS scheme as a teenager, I was offered £27 a week to put springs in a machine, no real training/job, just cheap labor!! This has left us with a severe shortage of trained workers, add to this dismantling of many of our core manufacturing industries etc… and we are left with a poorly skilled workforce!
I don’t know if Labour has made a difference to this shortage in their time in power (probably not done enough). This means employers have little choice in many industries to hire foreign workers to fill vacancies.
If a British person wants a job they should work their ass off to get the training necessary to be qualified to do that job so they are an attractive employee to potential employers.

Asylum and Immigration are Contentious Issues
If i remember my YTS scheme wage,it was
£27.30 a week working my ass of at B&Q as a slave.Unloading 5 tons of aggregate and cement bags onto shelves every wednesday for the whole year of my scheme,then i joined the forces and was fitter than most nco’s lol.That wednesday was my saviour in a most unexpected way;)
Well that was under the conservatives and although it was a pittence in pay it made me into a self-willed strong independent minded individual that could think for himself.
I WANT THAT BACK FROM LABOUR!!!I don’t want to be looked after,i want to look after myself thank you,i want my own path in life without the government telling me otherwise.
I give you a little example of what i mean ok ;D
We all know the advert for halford’s(going the extra mile scenario).ok.Well why don’t you do it yourself!!!!!!!!!!,You really will get a good feeling about doing it yourself and will save a lot of money.
You must be thick if you cannot change a wiper blade or fit a dvd player or change a bulb!!!!!!!!
DO IT YOURSELVES FEEL GOOD AGAIN.THINK FOR YOURSELVES ;))

When ethnic minorities become the majority, which is only a matter of time if you check the birth and immigration rates, they will decide public policy, the law of the land and the state religion. They will be nuclear-armed. They might decide, for example, because it is their religion, to ban the sale of alcohol.
I don’t know about you, but I like popping down the pub for a pint, and I want to go on doing so. I want to protect our culture, our way of life, with all its flaws.
And there is nothing discriminatory or racist about this: I would expect nothing less for immigrants in their countries of ethnic origin, where, by the way, they jealously safeguard their cultural identity, often by law.
Then consider the impact of the sheer numbers of people Labour is letting in: a net 200,000 a year. They require roads, houses, social services, schools, health provision, energy generation and prisons. Near me they have announced plans to build 10,000 homes on the green belt.
Is that what you want? Our green and pleasant land torn up for acre after acre of housing, in the main for immigrants?
The main parties have shown they are wedded to the idea of mass immigration. Hold the Tory policy up to the light and you will see it is not much different from Labour’s.
There is only one solution: the BNP, or, at the very least, UKIP.
There isn’t much time left.

What about immigrants who want to become British, the ones like most immigrants who entered this beautiful country after we won world war 2 and became part of this great nation?
Should we kick all them out as well, most of them are not white, so don’t fit in the BNP racially pure Britain.

Well people who fought years ago and are here need to be considered.
We need a first national status system where people are graded like in Canada and Australia.
Anything that does not meet the criteria shoud be shipped out!
Bon Voyage!
Anyone who comes to this country and INTEGRATES will have no problems, its when people come here and expect the locals to change to their traditions and laws (sharia) that problems arise. The british people are tolerant and have taken on whats good in many cultures and integrated it into our own, The ruby murray for example (Curry) is almost a national dish.
I have no problem with controlled immigration and would accept 100,000 Ghurkas who have earned their place in the UK than let 1 islamic extremist in.
Turkey (A country of 72,900,000. 99% muslim) joins the EU soon with full rights to come and work HERE and nether CON or LAB want to stop it.
The BNP will.

Only thing I disagree with above is the BNP are the answer to our immigration issues (yes I agree there’s a problem, BIG mistakes have been made).
Do you really want racists deciding who are suitable candidates to enter our country?
Remember it’s not that long ago when the BNP’s open goals were to remove all blacks from this country because they are black!
We should only allow people to enter this country if they will benefit the country and can support themselves for a reasonable period of time without relying on our benefits system etc…
I like how the government put forward legislation to hurt businesses who use illegal workers, up to £10,000 fine for each illegal worker!
I also agree those who enter this country should also try to integrate into our society, that does not mean completely dropping their culture etc… I don’t have an issue with Sharia law as long as they don’t become part of British law (which it won’t).
I doubt the main parties (Labour/Conservatives: one of those two will win the election next year) will bring immigration fully under control after the next general election, but our country doesn’t only revolve around immigration and the BNP’s policies on other important matters are a joke!

David, look at the Labour party record if you want a joke.
Elected to run this country, they devote nearly all their attention to governing other countries and concerning themselves with the problems of other countries.
I don’t object to that in itself, but they really should give this country priority.
Brown is PM of BRITAIN, and should concentrate all his energy, efforts and resources on making BRITAIN a better place.
There are people in Britain starving on the streets, children in Britain being sold into sexual slavery, (on news today), but Brown has his eyes firmly fixed on global greatness.
He is not supposed to be a superhero saving the world, he is supposed to be caring for BRITAIN and the British people.
Other countries have their own leaders to watch over them, they don’t need Brown interfering.
Labour is the real joke, closely followed by Tory.

If you care to check the BNP’s policies you’ll see that NO person, no matter what colour or creed, will be expelled from this country as long as they 1)benefit the country as opposed to simply coming here for a ‘benefits handout’ 2) don’t try and change our culture and 3) aren’t terrorists!Multiculturalism just DOES NOT work. Each ethnic group in Britain or anywhere else in the world lives in their own little hamlets (as Enoch said would happen) and, make no mistake, if nothing’s done the Britain WILL be an Islamic State in 20-30 years. I won’t be here but my children and theirs will, that’s why BNP are getting my vote and, unless you are Islamic, they should get yours too.

Well, ‘True British Patriot’ you really ought to have a look at the BNP policies before you start shouting about the BNP wanting Britain to be ‘racially pure’ – whatever’s that all about? I’ve never heard of that being a BNP policy. Sticking up for it’s indigenous population, now that’s another thing. Perhaps if someone stood up for the indigenous peoples of North America and Australia they wouldn’t now be almost extinct – like we’ll become if you don’t vote BNP. ‘True British Patriot’? I think you’ve got the wrong moniker mate……….

I understand the BNP policy is to accept all those who have assimulated and who support the British laws and way of life. They are more than welcome here. It is those who seek to destroy our culture from within ,those who are here illegaly and those who would make our country a muslim state with sharia law that the BNP wish to expel.

Perhaps Labour need to wake up and face the facts, people are aware of their deliberate encouragement of illegal mass immigration in this country since 1997. You only have to leave your house to see this is true.
Until our borders are closed (yes that means ‘pulling up the drawbridge’) can we attempt to reverse the damage Labour have done.
Immigration hasn’t improved the economy, it’s simply made it bigger so that Labour can lie and say it’s grown – rather than comparing it to GDP.
The onlt people benefitting from their policies are the fat cats that bribe Labour to get into power.

How can you seriously say:
“Immigration hasn’t improved the economy, it’s simply made it bigger so that Labour can lie and say it’s grown – rather than comparing it to GDP.”
If the economy is bigger that’s an improvement unless I’m missing something?
David
As a measure of GDP, the economy will get bigger if you increase the population, but the economic wellbeing of individuals, per head of population, may well remain unchanged, because nobody is actually better off.
For the economy to actually grow, and for people to be better off, you need it to grow WITHOUT increasing the population.
While I am writing, I would like to point out that I find the moderator’s comments about economics and his comments about immigration and Islam reveal a naive and somewhat credulous attitude to the problems besetting UK today.
Our situation is serious.

Could any of the BNP mouth breathers here actually inform me how many countries have Sharia law in place ( an answer I know) and also what exactly Sharia law consists of again something I know, I’d really love to hear an educated and informed answer from a BNP voter. Also with reference to the comments regarding the populations of Australia and America being wiped out it’s true they were wiped out by a group of religious terrorists who ruled the world and wanted to put their laws in place regardless of cultures, these people also invaded britain, they’re called Christians and destroyed our culture and replaced it with theirs, now these christians think they can judge anyone else? Complete madness, if the BNP truly represented britain it’s members would be of Indo-European stock, pagan and able to explain their history back to the last ice age, alas the BNP mostly consists of anglo-gemanic immigrants from the 8th century AD who pay lip service to a religion equally as vile as any organised religion though systematic child abuse really does take the biscuit and has been just as terrorising as Islam, crusades, inquisition the massacre and forcable conversion of whole countries, are you all so scared of other religions because your own atrocities haunt you? And lets be honest, Islam never fed six million people into ovens and practiced eugenics, that sadly falls in to the crimes of the white man along with the slave trade and generally bastardly behaviour. Good on the BNP for highlighting how much scum still exsists in britain, now if all it’s members could just raise their hands we’ll deport you to a country that supports your beliefs and origins, Israel, Scandinavia, Germany, any country you invaded us from. Now kindly sit down and shut up and take pride in britain, big brother, eastenders, football hooliganism and pointless celebrities, school kids who’s parent’s cant parent so we have an uneducated and unwilling population that blames everyone but it self. do us all a favour take a jump off those white cliffs you love so much and make us some “rivers of blood” we can be proud of.

Immigration on a small scale is fine,but when it is 300,000 a year you got to stop and think here.
Why did they open the floodgates?
Why are they suppressing the majority by using fear factor and big brother BS.
Well i give you 2 clues.(rather big one’s)
The only thing missing from labour’s flag is the hammer and sickle.
Earlier this month it was reported that labour has been sponsored by the KGB for decades.
Don’t just look at the symptoms(muslims) look at the CAUSES(labour and marxism).

I have always believed that,it is the sheer NEGLECT of past and present government towards the investment in training and skills for the young workforce because they found it cheaper to import workers from abroad.It was all to do with money and nothing else.This country has been going downhill for at least 50 yrs,and now it really is crunch time.
I completed that questionaire about what party i would belong to,and it came back with ‘Libertarian’ ?!xD?

Absolute load of B***S**T, labour had a secret policy 10 yrs or so ago to flood Britain with immigrants in the hopes it would bolster their vote, this came out in the last couple of weeks. In 2 months over the late summer it turns out that over 20,000 Indian, so called students, were allowed in to Britain, Yes thats 20,000 Indians alone in 2 months, how many more from other countries we dont know, but it shows that the lies from “LIEBORE”, who said that numbers had reduced ,are still coming thick & fast!! Oh just to cheer you up these same people will be claiming all the usual benefits, healthcare, education & housing etc, that we have paid for! Plus the fact they will cease to become “students” and disapear into the ethnic ghettos ASAP!

Lmao :L
David, sorry this a long post, but I think important. I left school at 15 with 7 ‘O’ levels, my family were poor & I had to Bring in a wage. After my service in the Colonial Police I returned to Britain realising that I was not qualified for any good management job! I got myself into night school and for 7 years whilst working 9 til 5 everyday I went 3 times a week for 3 hours a night + studying at home other nights + weekends & got myself a degree in Management. For the rest of my time in work, I am now retired I occasionally went on courses to update my skills. The last major one was 6 months at UMIST learning computing skills!
I have watched this country in horror as first under the conservatives and more recently under labour, we have destroyed our manufacturing base!
The employers & the unions were , in my opinion, equally to blame, the employers were greedy, not wanting to invest in new modern machinery and methods, just screwing quick profits out of their businesses. The Unions, Luddite & marxist, not wanting to cooperate with the few good companies to help improve working methods! Classic examples are Jack Jones a KGB sponsored communist who engineered confrontation rather than cooperation in the TGW, The Car industry whose wildcat strikes & poor quality rcords in the 70’s ,handed it over to the Japanese. The coal industry, where Scargills Marxist posturings with the NUM, totally alienating the average moderate Brit, made it easy for Thatcher to destroy him! Unfortunately all he forecast for the industry, closure of pits, importing cheap foreign coal has come true!
The dilution of our education system with large numbers of immigrant children, requiring special treatment for language skills & religious political correctness has ensured that indigenous white children in these often poor areas of our towns & cities have been neglected, succesive govts have done little or nothing to address this. The Marxist, politically correct, educational establishment have ensured that it is impossible for the good teachers to keep control of discipline and the politicising of curricula has ensured that many of our children are just not sufficiently educated for modern life, Just what use are “media studies”, “citizenship” & “social science” in the modern workplace? At least a reasonable knowledge of Maths & English, are essential and hopefully some computer skills, but many are leaving school with little or no skills in these vital subjects because of the failure of our educational system! Coupled with the fact that most British companies do not want to fund training programs, this has ensured that apprentice schemes or the modern equivalent do not exist. Thus the reason that foreign trained workers are more cost efficient to recruit, this is what has to be addressed, I cannot see any of the Lib/Lab/con parties doing this!
