IMMIGRATION
David Cameron has made comments to the effect that he wishes to see mass immigration reduced to the levels seen in the 1980s and 1990s. He has claimed that immigration was not an issue then.
With due respect, it was an issue although the government was ignoring it. Britain had changed from being an emigration country into being an immigration country, immigration was on a firmly upward trend with a rapidly rising number of so-called asylum seekers, and political correctness was steadily spreading throughout the state sector and the media.
Mr Cameron has averred that he wishes to see immigration restricted to 50,000. He is unclear whether he is talking about the gross immigration figure or the net immigration figure [there is a major difference]. Net immigration was at around 50,000 per year in the 1990s. When Enoch Powell made his Birmingham speech in 1968, he was complaining about an gross immigration level of 50,000 per year from the New Commonwealth [see the English Rights Campaign item dated the 22 November 2005].
England is overcrowded. We do not need nor want mass immigration. Mass immigration must be brought to a complete end. That is the policy of the English Democrats.
