British Politics

France 'REJECTS British offer to patrol their beaches.

Former Cabinet minister Sir Iain Duncan Smith is said to have challenged Mr Johnson at the meeting, telling the PM: 'Migration was in our manifesto, it was in our DNA. If we don't do it, they won't forgive us.'

His remarks were reportedly greeted with a banging of desks in a show of support from his backbench colleagues.

A poll for the Sunday Telegraph found that 77 per cent of Tory voters believe the Government's approach to the migrant crossings is 'too soft'. The number was 55 per cent for the public overall.

The survey, conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies, also found 54 per cent of voters disapproved of Mr Johnson's handling of the issue while 21 per cent approved.

Tory MPs are now looking ahead to local elections next May as a potential litmus test.

One former minister told the newspaper: 'If we don't deliver on migration, this is really damaging to us. People are genuinely fed up with this.'

Multiculturalism in the UK was rejected long ago.


It is true that Lord Parekh’s report and its vision of multiculturalism was rejected by Conservatives (‘Crude racism’ fuelled by Tory rejection of multiculturalism, says Lord Parekh, 19 November), but it was actually New Labour that first turned its back on its findings, not long after its publication.

A rapid backlash arose during David Blunkett’s tenure as home secretary (2001-04), embodied in policy proposals in 2001 for citizenship ceremonies and tests requiring proficiency in English language, and suggestions in 2002 that immigrants should speak only English at home, and that arranged marriages among south Asian communities should not involve partners from the Indian subcontinent.

This sea change was given further impetus by Trevor Phillips, then head of the Commission for Racial Equality, in his interview with the Times in 2004, in which he called for an end to the political and social goal of multiculturalism, claiming it was “out of date and no longer useful, not least because it encouraged ‘separateness’ between communities”, in the words of the Times’s report.

A clearly emergent policy shift away from multiculturalism gained speed and momentum from 2006 onwards, with speeches espousing this move given by the then prime minister, Tony Blair, reflecting on the “duties” of those wishing to settle in Britain to conform to “British values”. This distortion of the aims of multiculturalism was, of course, enthusiastically promoted by the rightwing press, which routinely dismissed multiculturalism as a failed experiment.

So while it is right to criticise the Tories, we should perhaps reflect a little more on the wider political context of the rejection of multiculturalism and its values.
