"I think by always making every issue, always bringing it back to immigration does the really damaging poisonous work of encouraging racism" Shabna Begum from Runnymede Trust. Spot on. Migrants are being scapegoated for the consequences of political decisions by successive govts

The fact we've had more migration in 30 years than the 1000 years before that, and the fact that at current birth rates and immigration rates, the British will be minorities in Britain by 2050, isn't some normal policy disagreement about corporate tax rates or misallocated public spending, it is an extreme and historically unprecedented thing that we need to discuss and this emotional blackmail is getting really tiresome.

@shabnabegum @RunnymedeTrust No, the immigrants do a good job of stoking racisim all by themselves

@shabnabegum @RunnymedeTrust Political decisions such as covering up the Pakistani rape gangs and importing extremists that want nothing more than to do us harm? Couldn't agree more.

@shabnabegum @RunnymedeTrust Immigrants are symptoms of governmental cause. And the side-effects include anti-social behaviour, terror, crime and inferior culture. Theae weak attempts at guilt-tripping us with a racism smear are making us hate them more. We are done being tolerant of awful people.

@shabnabegum @RunnymedeTrust Maybe they would be better off in their own countries, then.
