Immigration

Immigration and Labour

Have the Labour Party introduced a deliberate policy of increasing levels of immigration from non EC countries, in an experiment of social engineering?
Alasdair Palmer writes in the Telegraph that this is indeed so, but that the issue has been given little or no airing at all since the policy was adopted. His arguement is that we are creating a cheap labour market with a propensity to vote Labour.

The Sunday Times has a photocopy of a memo from Alastair Cambell suggesting that Labour is just about home and dry, and that all efforts from now should be concentrated on ensuring a decent turnout (the main threat to Labour's majority)


On a happier note I'm delighted to pass on my congratulations to all at Sunderland AFC for winning promotion to the Premiership. Manager Mick McCarthy has fashioned a hardworking team lacking in big egos and big salaries; they have earned their right to play against the best, and I wish them well for Friday's away game at West Ham when they could be crowned Coca Cola Champions!
Top scorer Marcus Stewart (pictured) grabbed the equaliser with a scything low drive past Ian Walker before Steve Caldwell rose to head in majestically from a corner in the second half to seal a 2-1 win against Leicester City. The Leed v Ipswich game dragged on agonisingly minutes after the final whistle at the Stadium of Light where almost 35,000 fans waited for the news of a draw in that game, which assured Sunderland of a promotion place.
