THE BRITISH INQUISITION

There have been calls for the resignation of Phil Woolas, Labour’s immigration minister, after he attacked the Office of National Statistics [ONS] for publishing statistics regarding immigration.

Labour ministers were described as ‘fizziing’ with anger when the ONS revealed that the number of foreign workers increased by 175,000 to 2.4million last year, when the number of British workers fell by 234,000. The ONS has also published statistics which show that foreign-born people make up one in nine of the UK population. Mr Woolas had complained in a letter that the statistics had been published by the ONS ‘with no ministerial involvement and indeed despite my objections.’ He further stated:

‘What’s worse is that the press release highlighted the one in nine figure as the main finding. So the Government gets the blame by some for whipping up anti-foreign sentiment when it is the independent ONS who are playing politics.

The justification from the ONS who had, our of schedule, highlighted the figure two weeks earlier because it was “topical” is, at best, naïve or, at worst, sinister.’

When challenged about his statements, Mr Woolas said:

‘The ONS need to be aware that they are entering shark-infested waters. It’s not the role of the ONS to dictate the debate.’

Labour’s policy of reducing the English into being a minority in England must involve the displacement of English workers. This is the direct and inevitable consequence of Labour policy.

The ONS has published statistics revealing the consequence of Labour policy. The truth is politically incorrect, and it is that to which Mr Woolas objects. He would rather the truth be suppressed.
