This makes me feel sick! Scapegoating, deflecting, shallow politics and we are falling for it… as usual. “Johnny foriegner”. Its disgusting how the Tories and their ilk can twist their disgraceful political/economic policies, revolting employment practices and rampant and unchecked promotion of shocking inequality to the British people, who are largely buying it lock stock and barrel. I could write a history lesson on it – but then… surely everyone knows that?

I must admit that there is bad feeling against immigration at present. Lack of affordable housing, jobs taken by migrants, a struggling NHS and the fact that people believe we should look after our own first. This may not be what people want to here , but people are getting angry. I have had conversations with quite a few of them. Jeremy Corbyn does realise this, but will not put a number on migration or immigration. He did speak at conference about reintroduction of bursaries to enable training of people within the UK and investment in science and technology so new businesses could be started this way. His speech included a promise of full employment, social housing and fully funded NHS, re nationalising railways and support for small businesses to get them up and running and a reintroduction of the fund to support those areas more affected by migration. However, Labour are not in power yet and the Tory rhetoric is only adding fuel to the fire and cause further moral panic … and probably more racial tension in those areas worst affected.

We need qualified immigrants for specific jobs where there is a lack of home grown suitably qualified people. We must be selective and at the same time address the issue of why so many of our own young people are unemployed when we are bringing in people from eastern Europe to do jobs that they could. Under no circumstances should we allow unrestricted immigration from the EU or have an allocation of refugees. With their insistence on open borders the left is fueling any animosity to foreigners which in any case is grossly exaggerated.
