David Cameron: migration threatens our way of life

David Cameron will claim today that uncontrolled immigration has undermined some British communities.

I know the first response from most of our readers here will be “No shit, how is he just realizing this now?” Well as it turns out there is a very good reason why PM Cameron seems to be playing catch up these days.

Very few people are aware that Mr. Cameron was involved in a bizarre and near fatal yoga accident in the summer of ’03.  According to the yoga instructor Huggi Sweetgrass the class was practicing the inversion exercise halasana or plow pose when she heard a gasp from some of the class. She looked up to see that Mr Cameron had somehow managed to lodge his head up his rectum. “I was astounded” says Ms. Sweetgrass. “While some from the class rushed to his aid [Mr Cameron] I phoned casualty services but got an answering machine. I then noticed it was tea time. There would be no answer for at least half an hour so I left a quick message and returned to the class to tell them the bad news.”

But all was not lost.

One of the other yoga members [ Nigel Williams] was also an avid scuba diver and when the attempts to free Mr Cameron were unsuccessful he ran to his car and retrieved a snorkel. He then managed to position the gear allowing Mr Cameron to breath thus saving his life.

About an hour and a half after tea time Mr Cameron was rushed to hospital where surgeons tried in vain to remove his head from his ass. Unfortunately there were more complications.  Dr. Anikulapo Okowsogie explained what happened next. “The whole thing was very strange” says Dr. Okowsogie, “When we tried to free the gentleman from his troubles we noticed that the man had no spine. So it was like pulling on jello. We tried also an air compressor and electric shock, but with no success.”

It then took another four and a half years of calcium and stem cell injections before Mr. Cameron’s spine grew strong enough to yank him from the foul prison he was trapped in.

So before the reader tears into Mr. Cameron for seeming to be oblivious to the previous years of mass immigration remember this story and have a little compassion.

THE TELEGRAPH…In his most forthright speech on the issue since he became Prime Minister, he will say that mass immigration has led to “discomfort and disjointedness” in neighbourhoods because some migrants have been unwilling to integrate or learn English.

Pledging to cut the numbers entering Britain to tens of thousands, rather than hundreds of thousands, Mr Cameron will say that “for too long, immigration has been too high”.

He will also promise to “stamp out” forced marriages, saying that “cultural sensitivity” cannot be allowed to stop the Government from acting.

In the speech to party members in Hampshire, the Prime Minister will attack Labour for claiming it was racist to talk about immigration, saying it is “untruthful and unfair” not to speak about the issue, however uncomfortable.

The Prime Minister will also blame the welfare state for creating a generation of workshy Britons, leaving the jobs market open for migrants. Figures show that of the 2.5 million extra people in employment since 1997, three quarters were foreign-born workers.

But Mr Cameron will argue that it is not a case of “immigrants coming over here and taking our jobs” because some migrants have created wealth and jobs.

He will say that the “real issue” is “migrants are filling gaps in the labour market left wide open by a welfare system that for years has paid British people not to work”.

“Put simply, we will never control immigration properly unless we tackle welfare dependency,” Mr Cameron will say.

He will say that he can see why people have argued that “immigration will remain high because British people won’t do the jobs migrant workers do”, adding: “We have had persistently, eye-wateringly high numbers of British-born people stuck on welfare.”

The speech comes three weeks before the local elections and is likely to be seen as an attempt to convince voters that the Conservatives are in touch with public opinion.

The Tories are fighting a large number of council seats in the North where immigration was one of the major issues at last year’s general election – with Labour subsequently admitting they failed to address the concern in their heartlands.

Mr Cameron will say: “When there have been significant numbers of new people arriving in neighbourhoods, perhaps not able to speak the same language as those living there, on occasions not really wanting or even willing to integrate, that has created a kind of discomfort and disjointedness in some neighbourhoods.

“This has been the experience for many people in our country and I believe it is untruthful and unfair not to speak about it and address it.”

He will attack the levels of immigration under Labour and commit to tackling the obvious “abuses of the system” that routinely happen, including sham and forced marriages.

Mr Cameron will say: “For a start, there are forced marriages taking place in our country and overseas as a means of gaining entry to the UK. This is the practice where some young British girls are bullied and threatened into marrying someone they don’t want to.

“I’ve got no time for those who say this is a culturally relative issue – it is wrong, full stop, and we’ve got to stamp it out.”

Between 1997 and 2009, 2.2 million more people came to live in Britain than those who left to live abroad, Mr Cameron will say.

“That’s the largest influx of people Britain has ever had and it has placed real pressures on communities. Not just pressures on schools, housing and health care – though those have been serious – but social pressures, too.”

He will tell his audience that by getting to grips with all forms of immigration he can return it to the levels of the 1980s and 1990s.

“And I believe that will mean net migration to this country will be in the order of tens of thousands each year, not the hundreds of thousands every year that we have seen over the last decade,” Mr Cameron will say.

It follows a speech by Mr Cameron earlier this year in which he said that British Muslims should subscribe to mainstream values of freedom and equality, and claimed that the doctrine of multi-culturalism had “failed”.

Today, Mr Cameron will mount a vigorous defence of the Coalition’s policies, saying they have started to bring immigration down.

He will single out those who have claimed that it was not possible to do so without harming the economy or British universities.

Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, fought a fierce Whitehall battle to try to ensure firms were not hampered by caps placed on immigrant workers and was vocal in his criticism of some of No 10’s plans to limit entry into Britain.

Mr Cameron will outline the measures to ensure the best economic migrants can still be hired by companies, and will add: “I completely reject the idea that our new immigration rules will damage our economy.”

He will reject concerns about the effect the tightening of rules on student visa applications will have on universities. He hopes to reduce the number of visas issued by 80,000 a year.

Figures yesterday showed a record number of foreign workers are based in Britain. There are almost four million migrants in work in this country despite government pledges to do more for British workers.

The number of people in employment increased by 212,000 during 2010, but more than 80 per cent was made up of migrants, according to the Office for National Statistics. Just over 29 million people were in work in Britain during the last quarter of 2010.

Of those, 3.89 million, or one in seven, were people born overseas, the highest level on record. That was a rise of 173,000 on the same period in 2009.

• A Nobel prize-winning economist yesterday suggested ministers allow migrants to buy their way into the country.

Prof Gary Becker, of the University of Chicago, said selling visas for £30,000 a time would help the Government select the best migrants.

  1. He is recognizing that there is a problem, not if he would just realize how big a problem.

  3. Here is a plan, instead of educating foreigners in your universities, many of whom despise Anglos, train indigenous English patriots. Quit training the enemy and start training your children.

  4. If UK was really serious about stopping immigration from asia, africa or middle east, UK should close some of its embassies or close some of its airports or reduce in and out flights from its UK airport. It is quite presently impossible for UK to attract the best migrants (unless they are really desperate) in view of the fact that UK had already welcomed some of the worst migrants or some of the worst culture from around the world, due to one reason or another.

  5. Was Mr. Cameron in hiding, or just out of touch? This is just political posturing, seeing the way that the citizenry have had enough of their country being trashed by ungrateful parasites who openly state their hatred for all things British. However these freeloaders seem to have no problem living on the dole, having large families, refusing to educate themselves or their children, and will be a lifelong economic burden to the UK.

  6. Even those educated islamic and nonislamic migrants who are not on the dole seems to be more interested on what financial benefit that they can get out from Britain than what they can contribute in any meaningful way to Britain.
    I agree with EV that the west should start educating their own people instead of foreigners.

  7. Taffy I stand corrected, I don’t follow British politics and thus will give them the benefit of the doubt.
