Tabloid-speak on immigration

A national newspaper is calling for Britain to "keep the floodgates closed", which apparently is tabloid-speak for not letting any more people come here from eastern Europe.

It states:  All mainstream political parties now admit that immigration throughout the early years of this century has been too high.  Much too high.

Really?  I have just checked the websites of the Labour Party, the Conservative Party, and the Liberal Democrats, and I have not come across a corresponding statement on any one of them.  Can anyone provide links?

All I can find are platitudes.

As for keeping the floodgates closed, the floodgates have been open for decades.  Anyone who votes Labour or Conservative or Liberal Democrat is voting to keep those floodgates open. If you want to close them, then join a party which offers more than just platitudes.

  1. Yes, it is not strange to those with eyes to see, that not so long ago the various media outlets would denounce anybody that dared to point out that the emporer is without clothing in the politically correct communist state of the u.k, as being a fascist. Indeed cross party support is still given to the violent degenerate unite against fascism organisation that like to silence debate with the use of hammers about the head tactics, very antifa. Incedently what is it with this antifa bussiness? Did they suddenly get struck with a dose of apathy midword and decide that they just couldn't be bothered to finish writing fascist.
    The bbc was told to, only present news items on the now defunct BNP in a negative light.
    Ukip, who are hardly fascists, only mildly concerned with immigration from eastern europe, now recieve visits at their party meetings from the antifa(scits). Well I suppose they've got to do something when their anger levels begin rising inbetween sessions of pot smoking.
    So now we are to take this as an admission of , what? Short sightedness, come on , I can hear Enoch Powell turning in his grave. Stupidity? an admission of guilt, incompetance, outright treachery. You bet.
