No-one is illegal (another slur on UKIP)

“BRITISH jobs for British workers”. A UK Independence Party slogan? British National Party? National Front? Right now it comes from Labour prime minister Gordon Brown. At the TUC conference in September, Brown talked about “British workers”, “British jobs” and “British living standards” (don’t mention the 2% public sector pay limit...) with such unashamed nationalism that even a few union general secretaries felt compelled to rebuke him. Now he has upped the ante.

At the end of last month, after the Government admitted that it had underestimated the number of migrant workers in Britain by hundreds of thousands, Brown tried to fight back with a straightforward appeal to xenophobic bigotry. “British jobs for British workers”, a slogan used by the BNP in the 1980s and the NF in the 1970s, became an official part of Government policy.

The Queen’s Speech (6 November) announced a new “points system” for migrants from outside the European Union. This means that people with wealth, or advanced qualifications of the sort more easily gained by those from a well-off family background, get in. The less well-off are kept out. There will be a compulsory English test. You will be tested if you come from Colombia or India, but not if you come from France or Sweden. This has rightly been dubbed “lace curtain racism”. (It also comes at a time when the Government is cutting English as a Second Language provision.) The left must condemn Brown’s appeal to bigotry. But it is also important to grasp New Labour’s lying and hypocrisy.

As a party which serves the British capitalist class, New Labour wants more migrant labour in Britain — skilled and unskilled. That is why most new jobs created here since 1997 have gone to migrant workers. “British jobs for British workers” is demagogy.

It would be illegal under EU law, as the Tories and others have pointed out, and anyway impossible to implement without reverting to a siege economy. No serious capitalist demands it.

UKIPs anti-immigrant slogan is "No new immigrants for 5 year"

"No new immigrants for 5 years*

(* exculding the many exceptions we will make for asylum applicants with bog standard sob stories. Workers from outside the EU are also exculded from 'the five year ban').

UKIP, Thatcherite rhetoric for the modern lemming"

So no bleating amongst the ranks at being lumped together with the BNP and NF when the glorious leader uses the same sort of anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Now which UKIP anti-immigrant leaflet had a picture of 3 white babies on the front?

That is because the UKIPers on here KNOW that the talk of a temp ban on immigration is just tough rhetoric. There is no true intention to carry out such a ban.

Remember, most of UKIP are ex-tories, they have quite a history of tough talk followed by no action.

I hate it when BB is right! UKIP's leaders just don't seem to understand that even voters who agree with their new stance on immigration will still see it as evidence that UKIP is "a bit like the BNP" and will shun them for that reason. Very sad.

Rather than bleat I have wandered off to join another flock.

I am also very inclined to find another flock. Stupid anti-migrant rhetoric.

I heard Nigel on any questions last week - he did not sound at all like the BNP.
