UK Home Secretary warns against social disharmony
Oct 7th, 2015 at 5:15pm
 
This is the woman who is the heir apparent to current PM David Cameron.

She is openly disenchanted with the ill-chosen mass-immigration of previous governments, and warns repeatedly that Britain will become a house divided against itself if the immigration trend is allowed to continue with Muslims and blacks expanding their ghettoes.

It's the first time we're hearing top politicians talking about 'social cohesion' - something that until recently was 'taboo' and damned as 'racist'.

This signals a very radical shift in government attitude towards the immigration and refugees policy.



"Theresa May faced a furious backlash this afternoon after launching an extraordinary attack on immigration and announcing a crackdown on asylum seekers.

The Home Secretary said Britain 'does not need' large numbers of migrants and warned they are putting British workers out of a job, forcing down wages and making it impossible to create a 'cohesive society'.

"Mrs May had promised to 'put Britain first' and warned Brussels that 'not in a thousand years' would Britain hand over control of its borders.

"Mrs May is tipped as one of the main contenders to succeed David Cameron as Tory leader and used her speech to party conference to shore up her support among the grassroots.

"She said countries across the continent needed to 'take responsibility and protect their own national borders' and hit out at those who said it was impossible to restrict migration.

"Mrs May said: 'We must control who comes to our country.'

"'To those who say the answer to this challenge is more integration, I say look at the countries in Europe who signed up to Schengen but are now putting up fences and re-establishing border checks.

'To those who say the problem is too great for nation states to resolve themselves, I say it can only be resolved by nation states taking responsibility themselves – and protecting their own national borders.

'So we don't need a common European asylum policy. But we do need a new British approach.'

Mrs May said mass immigration without control was making it impossible to build a cohesive society and was against Britain's national interest.

"She warned the Tory conference that huge pressure is being placed on public services and infrastructure by economic migrants.

She said: 'There are millions of people in poorer countries who would love to live in Britain, and there is a limit to the amount of immigration any country can and should take.'

"David Cameron this morning defended the Home Secretary's attack on immigration - insisting she was right to say it damaged social cohesion

"'The evidence... shows that while there are benefits of selective and controlled immigration, at best the net economic and fiscal effect of high immigration is close to zero. So there is no case, in the national interest, for immigration of the scale we have experienced over the last decade.'
