Translation: We are losing badly, and this is the last chance we have to sway some last-minute votes in our favor."

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.

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.

My guess is that this will only accelerate UKIP’s position at the expense of Labour. We need a USIP.

"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.

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.

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?

Very self-serving apology

Accusing people of racism works, until it stops working. In this country, I thought people had reached their limit on false racism accusations in 1990. I was wrong. Could the tipping point be approaching soon here?

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?
