It started with John Major, and went downhill from there. Cameron was the ‘correction candidate’, but I think he’s come along too late.
Cameron is as liberal as any of them.
It started a long time before Major. Following him Blair flung open the gates in a policy of forcing multiculti on the country whether they wanted it or not. Cameron campaigned on reducing immigration but it’s only increased. UK gov also uses “net” immigration figures rather than absolute figures for the incoming.
They can’t even deport a guy like Qatada ! In fact, to add insult to injury Qatada demanded a bigger (gov supplied) house and got it. You couldn’t make it up.
Nonsense. Major is not to blame.
Major postwar immigration to Britain started in 1948, with the black, Christian Afro-caribbean ‘windrush’ generation. To be followed in the 50’s and 60’s by Indian, Pakistani and more Caribbean immigrants. And from 1948 to the late 60’s and early 70’s, there was little racial and religious problem in the UK. What was was relatively minor.
WHAT has caused the problem is the late 60’s. In the late 60’s, as in the US, the politically correct leftist brigade hijacked immigration, race, gender, sexuality etc. As far as immigration, race and Islam goes, what happened and has happened is that immigrant policy was to embrace multiculturalism, and that meant in effect leaving immigrant communities to themselves, which has meant 30-40 years of isolation and self-segregation, and that allows the Abu Hamzas and all the other scumbag idiots to preach their ideas of isolation from the infidel.
If one man is to blame for this, blame Roy Jenkins. A man under whose ‘watch’ many of the disasterous late 60’s ‘progressive’ policies, from immigration and race to divorce and welfare, sprang forth.
