If we look back to 1997 and the advent of the Tony Blair Labour era, we can see how the UK was dramatically opened up to immigration on a scale that we had never experienced before in our island history.
The Blair regime estimated annual net immigration of between 5,000 to 13,000. Between May 2004 and June 2006, 427,000 workers had registered to work in the UK. Almost one million immigrants had arrived by the end of the Blair/Brown government in 2010.
These huge numbers absolutely changed the face of the UK with this surge of mostly former Soviet bloc people entering the UK with the approval of Blair and Brown. Now one million people coming here in such a short time put a lot of pressure on public services but if you thought that was bad, just consider what then happened after 14 years of “Conservative rule”.
As you can see, immigration numbers continue to soar and they now absolutely dwarf the numbers let in by Labour. So 14 years of “Conservative” rule has completely failed to stop the immigration tsunami – and in all cases we are talking “Legal” immigration, – not the armada of illegals that has been crossing the English Channel for some years now.
So, what will Labour do when it once again gets its hands on the levers of power?
Well, Sir Keir Starmer has been talking about his plans and this is what he had to say.
