Tony Blair has defended Labour’s controversial mass immigration policy by claiming that Britain cannot succeed unless it opens its borders to more people from different backgrounds.Of course Tony Blair doesn't really live here a lot of the time and more to the point doesn't live where the immigrants are going, so it's a bit hypocritical of him telling us it was good for the country when it appears to have only benefited Tony Blair and a few others.
The former prime minister said it was 'right’ that the country was made up of different cultures and faiths mixing together.
Mr Blair added that migrants had made Britain 'stronger’ and said those calling for greater curbs on foreigners entering the country were wrong.
His comments come just days after official figures revealed that the population is expected to soar by the equivalent of a city the size of Leeds every year for the next decade.
A defiant Mr Blair insisted his party’s policy on immigration was the right one. He said: 'It’s been a very positive thing and there is no way for a country like Britain to succeed in the future unless it is open to people of different colours, faiths and cultures.’
Under Labour, up to 5.5million people born outside the UK arrived as long-term migrants.
Between 1997 and 2010, around 2.3million left the country, meaning the UK population increased by around 3.2million as a direct result of foreign migrants.
Of course today we had the flip side of the coin...The group, though not mentioned in the BBC article is Muslims Against Crusades (MAC) this was the mob who decided to burn a poppy at the Remembrance day ceremony last November and plan to do the same this year too. It's interesting that Tony Blair thinks that "it was 'right’ that the country was made up of different cultures and faiths mixing together" whereas MAC think that for anyone who criticises Islam "their presence is no longer welcome in any Muslim area"
BBC.
An MP has described how he waited for police behind a locked door during a constituency surgery after he was threatened by a group of men.Mike Freer said it happened at North Finchley mosque in north London as he met constituents on Friday afternoon.Mr Freer said about 12 people forced their way inside, with one of them calling him a "Jewish homosexual pig".The trouble began after messages on the Muslims Against Crusades website urged supporters to target him, he said.Mr Freer said a message posted ahead of the incident on the group's website made reference to Labour MP Stephen Timms, who was stabbed while holding a surgery in east London last year.It warned the attack on Mr Timms should serve as a "piercing reminder" to politicians that "their presence is no longer welcome in any Muslim area".The Finchley and Golders Green MP, a member of the Conservative Friends of Israel, said there was a vocal demonstration outside the mosque as he began his surgery, but then a second group of people arrived and forced their way inside."One of them sat at a table where I was dealing with a constituent and was abusive," he said.The MP said he was then escorted by staff at the mosque to a locked part of the building until assistance arrived.Mr Freer said he only realised the potential danger he had been in when he was made aware of the website's reference to the attack on East Ham MP Mr Timms.The message also stated that "as a member of the Conservative Party", Mr Freer had "the blood of thousands of Muslims on his hands".
I wonder if Mr Freer thinks that mass unfettered uncontrolled immigration has been good for the UK, he certainly came face to face with one of its results on Saturday. Mind you, I can imagine the conversation when he gets back to Parliament.
"Hi mike have a nice weekend?"
"No not really, I was holding a surgery on Friday at a mosque and had to be locked in a room for my own protection from Muslims wanting to kill me"
"Oh dear that's terrible , anyway's we need to tackle the EDL I heard they had a demonstration in Birmingham this weekend, they are "sick" didn't Mr Cameron tell you??"
Btw I and several other patriots will be at the Cenotaph on Friday the 11th of November to show our contempt at MAC, no it's not an EDL demo though most will be EDL members. We will be respectful and polite as we honour the fallen, so feel free to join us if you can.

Might just do that QM - it would be a pleasure to meet you.
I'll be meeting up with various patriots at Euston about 8 am, if you email me I'll give you a contact number should you decide to go.
Economically it is difficult to dispute the benefits of immigration on balance they are advantageous. Culturally, normally an indigenous society is robust enough to absorb an influx of different cultures. The problem is the intervening period of arrival of a different culture and the absorption. So Blair as much as I dislike the man is right, however your complaint has also validity because of the cultural conflict at the present time. The problem I see is how best to deal with the conflict. The EDL will be seen as racist if it concentrate on the mantra that immigration is bad and should be stopped or curtailed. Instead the EDL should espouse views that immigration is not bad but how it is handled is and that it should be handled in such a way as to be made less disruptive. The rules of the game should be changed so that those wishing to come here are going to contribute to society and not aim to change society against the wishes of the hosts and must live in harmony and tolerance.
The EDL is not racist as oddly enough the membership consists of all races and religions, including a few Muslims. The EDL oppose what they see as attempts to displace the host culture by a totalitarian fascist creed posing as a religion and generally have no problem with immigrants who integrate rather than ghettoize.

To quote Mandy Rice-Davies .. "He would say that, wouldn't he ? " ..
I have to admit that I know little about the EDL and what I do know leads me to believe that you are not racist. However I believe that your rhetoric about curbing or curtailing immigration will lead others to believe that you are or at least give ammunition to those who wish to disparage you. So my advice is to change tack and not attack immigration but the effects only and have constructive proposal to address the problem. There is much that if changed in our economic, social structures and institutions that would make the problems that immigration currently pose become less onerous.
The accusation of being "racist" has been done to death .. and is now so passe as to be meaningless .. it is used as a failing method of attempting to prevent grown-up discussion about a subject, which has been swept under the carpet for the benefit of certain politicians for far too long now ..
The same might be said about accusations of so-called "homophobia" or "male chauvinism" .. they're just politically correct slogans, which are best ignored, or treated with the contempt they so richly deserve ..
Tony Blair is on the very long list of people who are going to pay for what they've done to us and our beloved country.
