Immigration and Labour voters: the most cynical act of vote-rigging in our history? Well, well, well. So it looks as if there was a conspiracy after all. Or at the very least there was a conspiracy to cover up what looks very much like a conspiracy.

Sir Andrew Green: the public are too polite on immigration  I rubbed my eyes with disbelief when I saw an article by Andrew Neather, a former speech writer for Blair, Blunkett and Straw, saying that mass immigration didnt just happen: the deliberate policy of Ministers from late 2000 was to open up the UK to mass immigration.  DailyTelegraph (10-Feb-2010)

Labour's secret plan to lure immigrants was borderline treason and plain stupid  Incredible. I am stunned. Back in October Andrew Neather, a former Labour party speechwriter, let the cat out the bag when he said that the Government had encouraged immigration to rub the Rights nose in diversity. But while Neather quickly backtracked, documents now released under the Freedom of Information Act suggest that he was telling the truth. Rather than being the result only of incompetence or a short-term economic measure to reduce inflation, Labours policy of runaway immigration was a deliberate and cynical attempt to change the face of British society.  Daily Telegraph (10-Feb-2010)
