Way back in the 1980’s, 1983 to be precise, Britain’s Labour Party published a manifesto for he forthcoming election that included so many hard line socialist proposals that the Gerald Kaufman, a now deceased Labour MP, called the document ‘the longest suicide note in history’. Mr Kaufman could see that this document, put together from Labour conference resolutions, would spell disaster for the Labour Party and for its leader the late Michael Foot. With Margaret Thatcher’s Conservatives riding high in the polls and bolstered by win on the battlefield against Argentina in the Falklands War, the public was in no mood for the sort of state control and far Leftism that the Labour Party proposed. Labour lost that election heavily and the career of Michael Foot, who had allowed the Leftists to set the party’s agenda, was over.
Fast forward to 2019 and Labour have again come out with policies that give me a sense of 1983 style political deja vu. According to a report on the Guido Fawkes site, Labour have managed to write themselves yet another political suicide note, but this one, concentrating on Labour’s migration policy, looks to me to be a longer and more unpopular note than the one put out in 1983.
The policies voted on by the Labour conference are to be quite frank, an open borders activist’s wet dream. These policies are also, as you will see, a massive and open kick in the teeth for British workers, taxpayers and citizens in general. Labour seem to have embarked on a course of political policy that would see migrants and ‘refugees’ getting everything, whilst the poor old British taxpayers and workers will get relatively bugger all. Our job as workers and taxpayers will be to fund Labour’s migrant largesse and enable open borders activists to play Lady Bountiful with our money. According to Guido these are the migration policies that Labour want to introduce and which have been agreed by conference.
Oppose the current immigration legislation and any curbing of rights
Campaign for free movement, equality and rights for migrants
Reject any immigration system based on incomes, migrants’ utility to business, and number caps/targets
Close all detention centres
Ensure unconditional right to family reunion
Maintain and extend free movement rights
End “no recourse to public funds” policies
Scrap all Hostile Environment measures… and restrictions on migrants’ NHS access
Extend equal rights to vote to all UK residents regardless of nationality
What Labour are proposing is much much worse than the policies that the party under Michael Foot wished to pursue. Back in 1983 Labour’s policies would have ‘merely’ damaged the economy and Britain’s competitiveness in world trade, 2019’s Labour policies would completely destroy the nation by rampant immigration. Labour would in effect open up the nation’s doors totally, with no limit to how many people can enter, would shower cash and benefits such as subsidised housing on migrants and open up the National Health Service to even worse health tourism problems than it suffers from at the moment. In addition Labour’s proposal that everyone in the UK, whether or not they are British and have British nationality, be allowed to vote. This last policy will have the affect of destroying whole areas because some migrants, for example Muslims, will vote as a bloc and vote for whatever policies that will benefit Muslims with scant thought for how these policies will effect others.
If you vote for Corbyn then it is akin to voting to have your face smashed in with a cricket bat and then being told to say thank you for being hit and paying for the bat itself. Voting Labour is now plainly beyond stupid for anyone except those who wish harm upon this nation and its people.
If Labour’s 1983 ‘nationalise everything’ policy turned off voters back then, today’s policies, especially these ones regarding immigration, will be even worse. Labour are presenting the voter with a clear choice, vote Labour and get swamped by people who may be bringing nothing to the national table and who will probably be a burden, or vote for someone else who actually cares about Britain and Britons.
How it will “affect” others, you mean …..to “effect” something is to actively do it – to put it “into effect”.
Once the action/policy has been “effected”, it then has an “affect” on others.
Thanks for that. Have corrected. My excuse is I’m child wrangling whilst writing LOL
This is pretty much what the EU has planned for us if we don,t leave!
Yep. We need to get out of the EU now before it implodes under the weight of both its own contradictions and its lunatic migration policies and takes us with it
