Brown On Immigration

Gordon Brown, calling for less debate on immigration:

Gordon Brown is to urge all parties to show a "united front" against those opposing immigration out of prejudice.

In a speech in London, the PM will say it is right for politicians to talk about the issue and address people's concerns about immigration levels.

But he will say debate must be measured and talk that immigration is "out of control" plays into extremists' hands.

I don't know whether the debate about immigration is playing into the hands of extremists - although I actually suspect that it is the lack of any sort of meaningful debate about immigration and the failures of any of the main parties to make the case for immigration that has really lead to the rise of the BNP. But what really gets to me - the hypocrisy that makes me want to vomit - is that this is Gordon "British Jobs for British Workers" Brown calling for moderation in the immigration debate. To put this in context, it would be like Enoch Powell calling for the removal of hyperbole from the immigration debate a couple of years after the infamous "rivers of blood" speech.

I'd have more time for Gordon Brown and his opinions if he wasn't such a hypocritical cunt.
