This is quite interesting.
At least all of the major parties in the UK have achieved a political consensus that legal immigration needs to be reduced substantially. We have not reached that point here with both parties pushing increased immigration and more guest workers.
Kook for a similar apology from Democrats regarding Obamacare come October.
may Labor Get a Boot in the Bum so hard,... they are never seen or heard from again.
Reading it, I come away with a sense that Labour finally realizes that not just a few people, but a significant cohort of people, are really pissed off about the idiotic immigration policies of the UK.
The trouble for Labour now is that the only way to win those voters back is to start talking about clamping down on immigration, which the Labour Party simply won’t do. Ever. The LP depends on their pro-immigration stand with the business sector and with the immigrant activists for their power base.
Let’s see if the Brits actually do something about being over-run
by Muslims, instead of just talk about doing something.
My guess is that this will only accelerate UKIP’s position at the expense of Labour. We need a USIP.
Wait until those in upper management are replaced by bigoted foreigners who don't give a darn about "fairness" or meritocracy, they are dedicated to "looking out for their own".
“We have not reached that point here....”
We get a large amount of dishwashers and landscapers, with admittedly a small criminal element. They seem to get mostly jihadi-loving welfare cheats.
Yikes, how that sounds to American ears.
Sounds like the job title and name for a sinister bad guy from Anthony Herbert's Dune series.
Pander much? The UK voters can perform the simple math that Labour leaders are unable or unwilling to do - open immigration policies do more harm than good.
“’Shadow Justice Minister Sadiq Khan...’ Yikes, how that sounds to American ears. Sounds like the job title and name for a sinister bad guy from Anthony Herbert’s Dune series.”
Or sounds like a senior official in Holder’s Dept. of Injustice.
Read no further to understand why Labour has no credibility on the issue of immigration in the United Kingdom. Once-Great Britain has been consumed by its empire, and now the conquering Muslims are pouring in to finish the job. Londonistan.
Yes we do. And I like the name, the US Independence Party. People can relate to that. Independence from government interference. Independence from high taxes. Etc.
I never liked the "Tea Party" name. It sounds rather old and quaint. Not dynamic at all.
There is still an amazing amount of stupid in that “apology”.
I especially like “energy prices will be frozen”. Wow, why didn’t we think of that 15 years ago? How about 40 years ago?
We have over 2 million criminal aliens in this country. Over 50,000 Americans have been killed by criminal aliens since 9/11. Why don't you take a gander at this GAO Report: Criminal Alien Statistics: Information on Incarcerations, Arrests, and Costs GAO-11-187
As far as welfare is concerned, immigrants, legal and illegal, use welfare to a far greater extent than the native born.
Very self-serving apology
We need a USIP and I agree... a party for small government.
The White Privilege Conference, the knock-out game, the idea that there is no legitimate opposition to Obama, it's all racism. These and many other events are building, the anger and resentment of these false charges is building, will it finally explode?
