Labour let in migrants 'to engineer multicultural UK'

Huge increases in immigration over the past decade were a deliberate attempt to engineer a more multicultural Britain, a former Government adviser said yesterday.

Andrew Neather, a speechwriter who worked in Downing Street for Tony Blair and in the Home Office for Jack Straw and David Blunkett, said Labour's relaxation of controls was a plan to 'open up the UK to mass migration'.

As well as bringing in hundreds of thousands to plug labour market gaps, there was also a 'driving political purpose' behind immigration policy, he claimed.



Official policy: Huge increases in immigration over the past decade were 'a deliberate attempt to engineer a more multicultural Britain'

Ministers hoped to change the country radically and 'rub the Right's nose in diversity'. But Mr Neather said senior Labour figures were reluctant to discuss the policy, fearing it would alienate its 'core working-class vote'.

On Question Time, Mr Straw was repeatedly quizzed about whether Labour's immigration policies had left the door open for the BNP.

Writing in the Evening Standard, Mr Neather revealed the 'major shift' in immigration policy came after the publication of a policy paper from the Performance and Innovation Unit, a Downing Street think tank based in the Cabinet Office.

The published version promoted the labour-market case for immigration but Mr Neather said unpublished versions contained additional reasons.

'Earlier drafts I saw also included a driving political purpose: that mass immigration was the way that the Government was going to make the UK truly multicultural.

'I remember coming away from some discussions with the clear sense that the policy was intended - even if this wasn't its main purpose - to rub the Right's nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date.' The 'deliberate policy', from late 2000 until 'at least February last year', when the new points-based system was introduced, was to open up the UK to mass migration, he said.

Mr Neather defended the policy, saying mass immigration has 'enriched' Britain and made London a more attractive and cosmopolitan place.

Sir Andrew Green, chairman of the Migrationwatch think tank, said: 'Now at least the truth is out, and it's dynamite. Many have long suspected that mass immigration under Labour was not just a cock-up but a conspiracy. They were right.

'This Government has admitted three million immigrants for cynical political reasons concealed by dodgy economic camouflage.'

The chairmen of the cross-party Group for Balanced Migration, MPs Frank Field and Nicholas Soames, said: 'We welcome this statement which the whole country knows to be true.

'It is the first beam of truth that has officially been shone on the immigration issue in Britain.'

Bush and Blair, cut from the same cloth and now we have Obama. These idiots think they can end poverty by destroying industrialized nations, by way of bringing down the middle classes standard of living and redistributing the middle class pay check to immigrants, illegal workers and the uneducated who don't want to work, who only care about receiving a government check every month, that we pay for.

And we have allowed it to happen. The first step to stopping it is demanding our borders be closed and ALL of our laws enforced....take jobs away from illegal aliens ( E-Verify) and force them to leave the country if they do not run into ICE first, who should be doing their job and deporting them, all of them.

Stop, the Political pandering and the outrages use of "Racial Profiling". Ask everyone if they are a U.S. citizen or have papers to be here legally! If they are they have no reason to be offended.

Well said SOS! The only people offended by being asked to verify their immigration status would be those who are here illegally and their defenders. With 20 million-plus illegals in this country, I can certainly tolerate being asked to prove my status if asked to do so!

Can't wait to see what FOX and Lou Dobbs have to say about this.

I'm glad to see someone inside a government admitting to this. I hope our US citizens in our US government will come forward and start admitting to what has happened in our government with regards to this globalist-socialist conspiracy to end the US.

They are purposely destroying our country for their globalist agenda. with Mass migration, using environmental excuses, Government control etc etc....

Our enemy has control of our country...What are ya gonna do about it?

True that tbow. It's most deliberate.

Labour’s ‘partisan’ immigration plan flayed

London Evening Standard/London

Pressure was growing yesterday for an independent inquiry into claims that immigration was encouraged by Labour for political gain.

It followed the charge by a former government adviser that a policy change to welcome economic migrants was partly designed to wrongfoot Conservative opponents of immigration.

Andrew Neather, a former speechwriter for Tony Blair and Home Office adviser, revealed in last week’s Standard that in confidential meetings ministers gave the impression they wanted to encourage multiculturalism for partisan reasons, as well as the stated aim of helping businesses fill vacancies in the booming economy.

Neather, now the Standard’s Comment editor, wrote: “I remember coming away from some discussions with the clear sense that the policy was intended - even if this wasn’t its main purpose - to run the Right’s nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date.â€
