Needless to say I am appalled by the direction our current government are now taking on immigration. As I’ve said here before, the UK should be an open, tolerant, welcoming country. In going down the path Starmer is now taking, he’s obviously just trying to pander to the right-wing knuckle-draggers who think we should close our borders and declare the country a white-only zone: the type of barely literate p’tahk who think Nigel Farage walks on water, and who Labour is now desperate to appease for fear of losing support and votes. As someone who relies on three extremely hard working Polish immigrants for his daily support, and as someone who relishes the cultural diversity he experiences every time I wheel out of my South London door, it is clear to me that this is an extremely dark, dangerous path to take the country down. Spout as much bullshit as you want about housing and infrastructure capacity, this is nothing but an attempt to appease the xenophobic imbeciles becoming more and more dominant in out political discourse.

This is clearly not the Labour Party I backed and voted for.
