He does however state that over the last '30' years this has been allowed to be the case so while I would attack the Labour party for not doing anything in 13 years, reading through political history then I would also masisvely take to task the Conservative party too since of those last 30 years they were in power for 17(nearly 60%) of those years and also did nothing..
I think its likely too little too late and that its also language that won't help presently either.

It is the direction that immigration took once Labour took power that is the problem. It was unrestricted - far too many people, over too short a time, with no proper infrastructure in place to cope with the numbers. It was Labour that deliberately caused the massive problem we have now, not the Tories. Labour more or less cocked a snook at the electorate, presenting them with a fait accompli, thousands upon thousands of immigrants all jostling for housing, school places, doctors, benefits, health care, yet no extra resources for these essentials being provided by the government.
It was not the Tories that threw our borders open to the world and his wife. Integration and mutual tolerance cannot be enforced, it must evolve organically over time with the help of fair and evenhanded legislation, and clear and consistent rules applied to new immigrants - that they learn to speak English and agree to obey the laws of this country and do nothing to violate or abuse the freedoms we enjoy. I have no idea why some on here dispute the need for immigrants to respect our culture and integrate with society. FGS, what is the alternative?
