Labour wanted mass immigration to make UK more multicultural, says former adviser
UK Telegraph ^ | October 23 2009 | Tom Whitehead

Posted on 10/25/2009 10:18:19 AM PDT by knighthawk

Labour threw open Britain's borders to mass immigration to help socially engineer a "truly multicultural" country, a former Government adviser has revealed.

The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and "rub the Right's nose in diversity", according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.

He said Labour's relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to "open up the UK to mass migration" but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its "core working class vote".

The libdems, lead by the late senator swimmer, have done the same thing to this country. They’ve had a lot of republicrat support for leaving our southern border porous.

What they need is a good old a$$ whuppin’ followed by some tar and feathers and a ride on a rail.

Another story here:

And a link to the original Neather article, which is an outrage. Labor deliberately withheld what they were going to do from the public because they knew it would enrage and betray their own base.

Really dumb. They live in Europe. A place in which one can literally visit multiple countries in a day, and they think it’s good and necessary to destabilize the demographics of their society. Liberals: Not so smart people thinking they are uniquely smart.

A multicultural society is a lot easier to exploit and control, if you're into exploiting and controlling!

It takes nerve to resist, some people will call you a racist!

Does it occur to anyone that throwing open the borders to Muslims in order to beef up Labor votes is tantamount to treason in that it risks the security of the crown for cheap election votes. Blair and his Labor croonies may have destroyed their nation in the long run. Bravo Tony...and next week, they want to make him the first president of Europe.

What is wrong with this picture?

Isolated pockets of foreigners do not equal multiculturalism. The steadfast refusal to assimilate into or even tolerate the society they've adopted is more accurately classified as an invasion. There are plenty of people who choose to leave the bad behind and try to make something better of course.

“The British people can be confident that immigration is under control.”

A sure sign the ministers are still intent on screwing Britons over.

I've watched, aghast in horror at Great Britain's immigration policy. They seem to be hell bent on suicide. The Labor's party position is nothing short of a suicide pact. It's born out of nothing but shear hatred for their own society. It cannot work and even Labor liberals KNOW it can't work and will lead to disaster.

And yet they persist. We have the same policy here in the United States. Except it's the liberals and Democrats who are prescribing the suicide policy.

The UK is ready for a political revolution. There's no Bill of Rights there....and when the Parliament votes to strip "asians" of residency...or votes halt the import of "cultural diversity"...it will be the law of the land.

As their economy continues to disintegrate, it won't be long before "white nationalism" becomes THE dominant force in politics.

Here I come. You support a guy who is on record for denying the Holocaust, joined a party that was once an openly Nazi-sympathising party that he has now tried to turn into something more palatable to the voters ala Blair and the Labour Party.

The BNP raises legitimate concerns, but he knows that simply espousing the Nazi beliefs he has a proven track record of believing in and expressing won’t win votes, because British people at heart are decent people who believe in fair play and are not racist loony tunes like him, but he knows which buttons to push to elicit their sympathy and he is doing it well. He’s certainly managed to win you over. I don’t know if you are actually a Nazi or just believe in what Nick Griffin says he believes in, but he and the BNP are wolves in sheep’s clothing. And if the average BNP voter was more aware of Nick Griffin and the BNP’s origins, I would wager that their popularity would crash....

There is a Bill of Rights (1689), it just isn’t taken that seriously any more, which is a shame, as apart from the outdated sectarianism of a few of the passages, it is a perfectly sound document.

As for the original article, its truly breathtaking, but the BNP isn’t the answer. No decent person believes in ethnocentric nationalism. Nationalism should be based on Civic lines, based on shared values and culture.
The complete destruction of the Labour Party is the answer to this, preferably to be replaced permanently as the main part of opposition by UKIP alternating in government with the Tories.....

True enough. It’s not as if the conservatives did anything to halt the massive flow of immigrants into Britain. Even Thatcher did nothing. To think Cameron the pinko will do anything is a pipe dream. Come to think of it, they remind me of republicans in America.

So what's your solution to a deranged Labour Party and an inept Conservative Party. Both parties are leading Great Britain to disaster. The Labour party is doing it faster but the Conservative party has no solution and is also politically correct to a lesser degree. Both positions are disasters.
UK is at the point that only a Nationalist Party can save the country. Maybe if they had reacted intelligently back about 1980 could have have solved this problem in a less than drastic way.
But today thanks to the Labour Party and their allies in the British Press and University, the UK is on the precipice of complete and utter disaster.
Only a Nationalist Party that is immune to Political Correctness can save them now.

I think the average BNP voter IS aware of BNP's origins. He just DOES NOT CARE. Nor would I if I was a Brit voter.

The Brits are in a situation where they are being invaded, and the mainstream parties seem to be OK with this. There is rising crime caused by immigrants, there are rising costs for "public services" which threaten to bankrupt the state, and they have to worry about terrorism and the potential of their country being taken over within the lifetimes of their children.

In such a situation, I would vote for WHOEVER I saw had the guts to DO SOMETHING about the situation, and not give a damn about how displeased anybody else was about my choice.

I think I remember that Thatcher was bashed in a campaign ad where she opposed Indians moving to the UK. I would guess other areas as well. The Tories now are Labour-lite. Boris fawned over Obama.

Many in Germany seemed to think so as well in the early 1930's. Just saying...

Mind you, I'm not trying to imply that you (or the BNP) would approve of any type of attrocities that followed in that particular historical precedent. A few years of nationalistic fortitude might well be a Rosskur (German term for a drastic medical treatment that yields quick results) for the UK. But having radicals in power is always a gamble.

The kinds of things that happened in Nazi Germany in the 1930's and 1940's are NOT going to happen again. The world is too small a place today and there are too many checks and balances on this type of thing to have a calamity of that happen.

But WILL happen and what IS happening is a total meltdown of British Society prompted by a collapse of British Culture. This collapse of British Culture or perhaps more accurately British Civilization is a result of an insane immigration policy.
The Labour Party is EVIL-plain and simple. Their self-hatred of Britain is what is a the heart of this problem. It would take someone more schooled than me in psychology to understand what is at the heart of this self-hatred but I can see that it's there.

The only antidote to this problem is a nationalist party. Britain MUST have a very strong and secure Nationalist party build on centuries of British Culture. This Nationalist Party must be immune to the disease of political correctness. Anyone who cannot or will not assimilate to British Culture is to be deported post haste.

This is only this can save Great Britain. There is no other alternative to this other than a CIVIL WAR that will be very uncivil!

BNP doesn’t have the platform that the Nazis had. SOmething like a backlash is going to happen and it’s going to get bloody. If the BNP is elected then I am sure that reforms will be enacted and what not, but if not, then the people in the streets are going to surely clash.

The BNP doesn’t want genocide, it just wants a sovereign country again with the world they grew up in not sent into the sewer it’s currently bathing in. A lot of people in First World countries are fed up with carrying the rest of the lazy world on their shoulders and I don’t blame them. Not one bit.

The Brits do believe in fair play, when the stakes of the game are not too high. When the game is existential, when the stakes are survival, do not be shocked if Western people finally choose to play very rough.

World War 2 was the last time Britain faced an existential threat. In order to combat that threat, they chose to be willing to do WHATEVER IT TOOK to defeat their enemy, including tactics like firebombing Dresden and other German cities, incinerating men, women, children, babies screaming in their cribs.

Do not assume that things will not get VERY ugly if the West decides it faces an existential threat.

I generally agree with you.

Citing the NAZI precedent is always a touchy matter (well, except to some...), but in the context of “back then” those who voted them into power did not know what we know today. Whether or not anything can “happen again” is something future generations can mull over.

Labour is evil - check. Massive muslim influx is destructive - check. But there also seems to be a meltdown in indigenous UK society (”yobs”, “binge drinking”, “multi-generational welfare families”, “teenage pregnancies”, etc.) that I don’t know the BNP has an answer to (admittedly, I am not intimately familiar with the BNP party platform - need to read up on that!).

The BNP are a racist and anti-semitic party, most of whose leaders have convictions for racial assault. They have undeniable links to neo-Nazi groups.

This ‘British’ party is opposed to the great Ghurkas being allowed into Britain and taking British citizenship after their service in the British Army. And the BNP this year stated that a black soldier (Johnson Beharry), who showed incredible courage in saving numerous British lives in Iraq in 2003, and received the Victoria Cross, only got it because he was black and because of political correctness.

They are scum in my opinion. There are many serious problems with Britain, but voting BNP is not the answer.

There are a frighetingly high amount of Freepers who need to learn a little more about the BNP.
