United Kingdom Politics Having secured a third term, we will fulfil our promise to renew our country and take Britain forward to a better future not back to a failed Tory past. Our continuing success depends on our continuing to pursue a new Labour agenda as a modern progressive party. We will focus on three crucial areas: the economy, modernising public services, tackling crime and asylum; building on what we have achieved to make Britain better since coming to office in 1997

Emigration, Asylum and Sanctuary

On 20 May 2008, The Times reported thus:

Quote:
Two million British citizens have left the UK in a decade, the greatest exodus from this country in almost a century... The Office for National Statistics will release figures showing that more than 200,000 Britons emigrated during 2006. That will take the total number who left the country between 1997 and 2006 to 1.97 million...

However, 3.9 million foreigners arrived over the decade, including more than 500,000 in 2006...

Some historians say the departure of two million Britons in a decade is almost unparalleled in the country’s history...

Jill Rutter, a senior migration researcher at the IPPR, said the recent exodus marked:

'PROBABLY THE GREATEST PERIOD OF EMIGRATION WE'VE EVER SEEN!'...

Opposition parties say that some emigrants have been driven out of Britain by its high levels of crime and taxation.
The Times posed these questions:

Quote:
i) Why are so many Britons emigrating?
Quote:
ii) Is it the prospect of a better life elsewhere, or are British citizens repelled by life in their native land?
Quote:
iii) Has globalisation made it easier to settle abroad?
Here are the answers:

i) Because the New World Order elite have done everything in their power to make life uncomfortable for the British in their own land.

This, in order to bring forward the Global Village where no one can claim sovereignty over their own little patch of ground except the elite, who own everything.

ii) Both.

TV and Magazine propaganda tells us that life is much better just about anywhere else on the planet. The actuality of life here, where a brutish PC elite hasn't allowed us to govern in our own best interests for over 40 years now, suggests that life has to better elsewhere.

iii) Oh yes.

THEY want us OUT.

That's why THEY make it easy for us to leave.

On 20 May 2008, The Daily Mail reported thus:

Quote:
The word 'asylum' should be phased out in relation to foreigners seeking safe haven in Britain and replaced with 'sanctuary', a new report said today.

A poll for the Independent Asylum Commission found that only 28% of people viewed 'asylum' positively, and 33% viewed it negatively. In comparison, more than 81% thought 'sanctuary' had positive connotations. Slightly more people - 31.3% - most associated the word 'asylum' with a place for the mentally ill rather than with safety for the persecuted, the poll said...

Ifath Nawaz, president of the Association of Muslim Lawyers and co-chair of the Independent Asylum Commission, said:

'THE PUBLIC HAVE TO UNDERSTAND AND SUPPORT SANCTUARY and the system that provides it for those fleeing persecution. And that is why the commission is calling for a campaign to win hearts and minds and ensure we have a system that is in line with the values of the mainstream British public'.

Co-chair and former High Court judge Sir John Waite said:

'Unless we take action to restore public support and confidence, the outlook for the UK's tradition of providing sanctuary to those fleeing persecution is bleak... There is a profound disconnection in the public mind between the sanctuary they want the UK to provide and their perception of asylum seekers and the asylum system'.
I don't want to understand and support sanctuary and I dont want some jumped-up Abdul-come-lately like Ifath Nawaz telling me I must!

In this, I'm just like 90% of the Brits in the fifties, who wanted all immigration stopped. The traitorous politicians didn't listen then and they're most definitely not listening now.

Sanctuary?

You wishy-washy, immigrant-huggers can b***er your sanctuary!

Let Black and Muslim countries look after their own, for God's sake!

Let the Muslim go seek sanctuary in a Muslim land. Ditto the African! And if they don't like the look of the sanctuary on offer in such places, well, they better behave themselves in their own neck of the woods or they should strive for something better, shouldn't they?

Quote:
The UK's tradition of providing sanctuary to those fleeing persecution is bleak.
Well, hoo-bl**dy-ray! Bleak for them means less bleak for us!

I wonder if this bleakness will persuade the money-grubbing sanctuary-seeker not to come.

Shouldn't think so. As long as characters like Waite and Nawaz rule the roost they'll keep piling in and we'll keep getting ethnically cleansed.
Everybody knows it.

Nobody dare say it.

Except the ignorant, hate-filled racist with tattoos on his eyeballs, of course.

And the bigoted, fascistic, little England dinosaur.

Let's not forget him.

In Orwellian times such as these, you get used to the nasty names.
