A Direct Appeal to Ed Miliband

Last Updated: June 5, 2014By

One may hope the author of this piece is pleased that Mr Miliband is taking a stand for democracy and wants to do whatever is necessary to ensure that people like terainahird don’t become so disenchanted with it that they choose not to vote.

      Why do you want him to leave, just when he’s starting to do some good?

    Looks like you love Labour so you must love immigration! That’s why young and old can’t get a job and why the young have no hope to get on the housing ladder – they can’t afford to rent or buy. This no longer feels like my country, I’m angry and sad, don’t enjoy multicultural streets where I’m a minority, it’s time for me to leave.

      That’s an association fallacy.
      You are trying to link Labour, immigration and myself with no evidence to support the claim.
      Also there is no evidence that immigration – as a concept – is wrong in any way.
      In fact, as readers of this blog know very well, I oppose free movement into the UK as it encourages economic opportunism among residents of countries will less well-performing economies.
      The answer is to restrict free movement so that it takes place between countries with equivalent economies – not to halt immigration altogether.

    No, this has been the big myth everyone has been sold about immigration and people have so bought into it. Typical British empire divide and rule still at it through the elite politicians. A different story when we were desperate for doctors and nurses in the NHS when it was still functional and expanding in the 1950’s. Immigrants on the whole work very hard, take poor jobs and more than repay in taxes what they take in benefits when they first come.
    We have far more serious problems to focus on rather than the sad send the immigrants home rhetoric.
