Except for Jeremy Corbyn![]()
Lol. In answer to the prior question I can't see what the problem is with what Davies has said.
HE is right that politicians are out of touch with what the "working class" think about immigration. That has been quite clear for a long long time. He is also right that the public do not want government to "go soft" on illegal immigrants.
See this is the modern world where people conflate a result of poor administration of a policy with it being a deliberate action of the policy or the policy itself.
The word "illegal" is key. There is nothing wrong with deporting illegal immigrants, in fact there is nothing wrong with dealing with illegal anything. We expect it to happen and would go mad if it didn't. The problem is not to do with illegal immigration at all despite how much those who are crying from the roof tops with their new bone to chew on that it is. The problem is to do with people that are not illegal being caught up in the problem which is quite different to what Philip Davies has said above.
No problem with them attacking Rudd for legal immigrants AND in a lot of cases British citizens being put through this process. Shouldn't have happened. They should have sorted out making sure people had completed the required process before they enforced the policy. It is completely disingenuous for Abbott to imply it was a racist act ignoring the many examples of white immigrants caught up and it is completely disingenous to pick up on a comment about illegal immigration when this is a case of poor administration and not the actual policy being wrong.
Is the policy right? Yes. Illegal is illegal. Is the administration of that policy right? Nope it has been shameful mis admininstered as per usual. Are those being very vocal about it being entirely genuine with their concerns? To a point they are but then they are adding a load of agenda on top as well and blurring the lines just as those attacking dear Jeremy have suddenly got a CV fighting anti-semitism through their whole political career and busey blurring the lines between jews and Israel for their own aims.
If you listened to Dianne Abbots claims of "institutional racism" this week and her statement "this wouldn't have happened if these were white faces" earlier this week/last week then it is she who is utilising this argument both to attack the government and then to push the racist agenda at the same time.
Nothing wrong with disagreeing with what Philip Davies says. You can't pick up on one thing he says and then pretend it means something else though. There should be more politicians like him and John Mann that say what they actually think rather than what they think they should say or what will go down well. Far tooo many like Yvette Cooper in there with their crocodile tears and faux concern.
