Patel: ‘We aren’t anti-immigration but we cannot give a home to anyone
 
https://foxhole.news/wp-content/uplo...riti-Patel.jpg

Home secretary Priti Patel delivered a key-note speech on immigration at a
conference on Monday, pledging to “fix” Britain’s “broken immigration
system”.

Ms Patel has spoken publicly this weekend about immigration reforms
announced in the Queen’s Speech a fortnight ago, calling out those who wish
to “sow dissent” by labelling reforms as “anti-immigration” and insisting the
government has a mandate from the electorate which is “impossible” to
ignore.

Speaking at a conference organised by the Bright Blue and British Future
think tanks, Ms Patel addressed current concerns about immigration and
unveiled her plans for future reforms.

“It was seen as entirely proper for the British people to express their wishes
at the ballot box on matters such as taxation, healthcare, education,
pensions, international relations, the environment and law and order, and
yet concerns about immigration, its impact upon communities, would in some
quarters be met with derision and scorn by parts of the political class,” the
home secretary claimed.

“Far too many politicians were indifferent to public opinion about this issue
and too many were happy to assert that even raising the topic of
immigration was racist.


“It has taken a referendum and a change of government for politicians to
recognise that by ignoring this issue, public frustration has also contributed
and led to the reframing of this debate.

“It is a fact that successive governments have failed to control immigration.
The problems and unhappiness became impossible for any politician to
continue to ignore.”

Ms Patel said that in the Brexit referendum, “the British people voted to take
back control of our borders.


“They then drove the message home again at the 2019 general election,” she
added, insisting that “political parties have a responsibility to face reality.

“People from every part of the world are here in the UK and are making
enormous contributions for society, culture, economy and individual lives.
We all cherish this and I want this to be part of our national life and our place
in the world.”

However, Ms Patel insisted that whilst sensible levels of immigration can
bring positives to British culture and economy, “it is sheer fantasy to say that
we can give a home to anyone who wants to come here” and pledged that
new reforms would ensure control over numbers and fairness across the
board.

Who cares about what that evil hypocritical bully has to say. She wouldn't be where she was without immigration.

Jake. 24-05-2021 09:28 PM

Her parents came to the UK in the 60s but I guess she choses to ignore that

GoldHeart 24-05-2021 09:35 PM

I can't stand this heartless woman.
How she's a Minister after all her deceit before is beyond me.

DouglasS 24-05-2021 10:20 PM

2021 has been a fantastic year for the government and how they have delt with things

Feeding off the misery of the poor and vulnerable isn't good for the skin, it seems.

Back then
we still had the British Empire

Her family were part of that

Way back then.



Nowdays, however,
illegals
are breaking into the UK in Dover
we can no longer afford them.

In a nutshell

Look at everyone slagging of an immigrant.

joeysteele 25-05-2021 08:50 AM

Not all she says is wrong, I concede that.
However I'm not going to be lectured to or believe the word of a Woman who has been found to operate a bullying environment with her staff.

Who deliberately deceived and lied to the Nation, Parliament and her own then PM, Theresa May too.
Where she had to lose her previous trusted ministerial post.

The fact this PM brought such a person back as a Minister shows his terrible and incompetent judgement.
I'm surprised how many of my Con contacts have no time for Patel either.

Her past deceit and lies should have had her never in any post, where she professionally gets to make decisions on any other person's or peoples lives.
No way.
She's vile and I cannot trust or believe near all she says really.

An awful politician of the worst kind too.

bitontheslide 25-05-2021 08:59 AM

i think all we want is a fair and transparent immigration system. I don't get all the fuss. Those here illegally shouldn't be here, and should be deported. Simple

arista 25-05-2021 12:44 PM

The SNP Westminster Leader
was on BBC2HD Politics Live

He says the 2 illegals can stay in Scotland?

We will have to drive up overnight
and arrest them,
with English Armed Border Police.

Tom4784 25-05-2021 12:50 PM

Immigration is, and will always be, an issue akin to a bright light for the mothlike public. A easy way to appeal to the gullible and their biases by making out they should fear those below so they don't crane their necks looking above.

No, immigrants aren't coming for your jobs, they aren't draining the system, they aren't impacting your life. They're just a convenient target of hatred by a public that makes them easily led into voting against themselves.

bitontheslide 25-05-2021 02:40 PM

far be it for me to defend Diane Abbot, but until the police come out with a clear statement on why this was not a targeted attack, Diane and others can speculate as much as they want

Fear those below?

Politicians should be speculating on an ongoing murder investigation using social media to spread political conjecture

thesheriff443 25-05-2021 03:03 PM

We had 30 year old men being allowed to come into this country claiming they were 13 year old boys
We had serious criminals coming in committing crimes and being allowed to stay in this country

And why were they allowed to stay because Europe to us we had no choice

Well we got our vote and we to Europe to go f themselves

And they tryed every trick in the book to keep up in Europe under their control
