VERITAS IMMIGRATION SHAMBLES
16 February 2005
On Monday, in the Daily Mail, it was reported that Robert Kilroy-Silk (RKS), the leader of Veritas, would be promising ‘a total ban on asylum seekers if his party wins the election’ in an announcement on the Veritas immigration policy.
It was reported that this was because asylum seekers inevitably pass through many other safe countries before they reach the UK, and they should have claimed asylum in those countries. The Daily Mail even quoted a source who said that RKS was prepared for a ‘lot of flak’, but would not be deterred from ‘addressing issues that concern the British people’.
However, RKS intended to try to appease the race war industry (as if such a thing were possible), by proposing an amnesty for all the illegal immigrants already in the UK who had children. Those who did not have children would be deported. Veritas would then refuse all future asylum claims - reportedly.
There are currently estimated to be up to 1million illegal immigrants in the UK.
To tell illegal immigrants that they could stay if they could impregnate someone, or get impregnated, (if they do not already have children) is a novel means of addressing the immigration issue. Presumably, no one in Veritas had considered the inevitable consequence of such a policy.
There is no mention of this new policy on the Veritas website. The existing policy as earlier reported by the ERC remains. However, the website does now link to 3 news sites which do report the RKS policy announcement.
RKS is reported as saying that only the rich benefitted from mass immigration, and that British people were being forced out of work. The websites do record the announcement as including a refusal to include those asylum seekers who had passed through other safe countries. But it also included a commitment to accept a ‘fair share’ of asylum seekers allocated by the United Nations - which is a crib from the Conservative Party policy, despite the fact that the UN have stated that they will not cooperate.
The ‘fair share’ was not quantified.
This is not a commitment to end the concept of asylum seeking at all, and the policy suffers from all the flaws which render it unworkable (as the ERC has already pointed out). On the epolitix link, RKS is even reported as saying that Veritas ‘would allow an unlimited number of people to move to the UK if there was evidence that they would help Britain prosper’!
But there was no mention of the impregnation issue.
Meanwhile, a Veritas policy document has been doing the rounds on the internet. This document sets out a number of criticisms of mass immigration, many of which are good ones, but it avoids the issue of Veritas allowing the UN to decide a number of asylum seekers that the UK will accept (if Veritas gets its way) and makes no mention of the impregnation issue.
There seem to be several versions of the Veritas immigration policy. It would seem the straight talking party, which tells the truth, has yet to live up to its rhetoric.
