The Home Secretary admitted yesterday that the Government had made mistakes in its handling of immigration.......In his first speech on the subject, Alan Johnson said that ministers had ignored immigration problems and the growing pressure on jobs and services in parts of Britain. Some communities had legitimate concerns because they had been particularly affected.

I can remember having various arguments with left wingers here on CF about this. Now Labour are even admitting they were wrong on the matter. Exactly what I and others have been saying here for years, to howls of derision from our comrades here. Any left wingers here fancy apologizing to me about this now?

Home Office covered up immigration risk

Quote:
Labour's “open door” immigration policy knowingly risked allowing dangerous people to settle in Britain unchecked, according to documents seen by The Sunday Times.
The Whitehall correspondence, which was illegally withheld by the Home Office for four years, shows how ministers were told by the country’s most senior immigration official that his staff were to be “encouraged to take risks” when granting visas, work permits and extended residency to hundreds of thousands of new migrants.
The cover-up of this policy of risk-taking was so concerted that Richard Thomas, the then information commissioner, sent a team of investigators into the Home Office to trawl all the relevant papers. Earlier this year he rebuked the department for breaking the law and ordered it to release the material under the freedom of information (FoI) law.
