POLITICIANS WHO RUIN YOUR COUNTRY, GET RICH, AND THEN LECTURE THE PUBLIC - THE CASE OF TONY BLAIR

Daily Mail  - The rank hypocrisy of Tony Blair: He threw open Britain to millions of immigrants, but now sneers at right wing UKIP
 
Mr Blair is a man who will gabble silkily for lucrative corporate bonding sessions or cosy media interviews.  But he will never utter what we actually want to hear from him - the faintest hint of contrition to those of us living in the country that he seems effectively to have abandoned.


BBC Presenter Jim Naughtie was full of credulous deference towards Mr Blair on yesterday’s Radio 4 Today programme.  Inevitably, Mr Blair was not actually in the BBC studio. On this occasion he was ‘joining us from Berlin’ - a change from Ramallah or Dubai or the other places between which he flits on private jets, and from which he tends to broadcast when taking a break from his crowded schedule of lectures delivered for a vast fee.
 
The most striking aspect of Blair’s performance yesterday was his assumption that the spectacular progress made by Ukip in last week’s local and European elections came out of the blue sky and had nothing - absolutely nothing - to do with him or the policies of the government he led.
‘I’ve always said you have to have proper controls in place on immigration,’ Mr Blair intoned, unchallenged.   This peculiar assertion is punctured by the research of Migration Watch, which estimates that immigration during the New Labour years added three million to our population.
 
It also ignores the account of a former Blairite speechwriter, Andrew Neather, that from late 2000 onwards the deliberate policy ‘was to open up the UK to mass immigration’.   More than that, New Labour’s open-door immigration policy was designed, Mr Neather said, to ‘rub the Right’s nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date’.
 
Well, the consequences of that shamefully irresponsible politicking are now to be seen, both in the eastern European migrants crammed six to a room in East London, and in Ukip’s electoral progress
 
Yet Mr Blair artfully gives the impression that if only he were still around to ‘spin’ the consequences of mass immigration, Labour (and the Tories and Lib Dems) would not be suffering the electoral backlash against his own policies. 
 
‘Look a little beneath that Ukip facade and you see something pretty nasty and unpleasant,’ he said yesterday, dismissing with a wave of his hand the legions who have expressed at the ballot box their unease about the profound changes this country has undergone.  He is convinced that what he yesterday called ‘the progressive majority’ will ultimately triumph over what he used contemptuously to brand ‘the forces of conservatism’.
 
Tony and Cherie Blair now sit atop a multi-million-pound property empire of eight homes - some of which they bought with their children - which includes a townhouse in Central London and a mansion in Buckinghamshire. 
 
Now eight homes, and their attendant cars, take an awful lot of cleaning, gardening and valet servicing. These days it is hard to find the native-born staff to look after a terrace house, never mind eight homes.  Immigrant labour makes that sort of life possible for Blair, a man who only occasionally pops back to these shores.
 
The problem is that hard-working immigrants also occasionally fall ill, and have children, and quite reasonably expect to be found GP appointments and school places - for which New Labour never planned because, for electoral reasons, it could not declare its advocacy of  mass immigration.

LABOURS DECEITFUL IMMIGRATION AGENDA
 
As disclosed by a Labour Party insider just a few years ago: 
 
The Telegraph:  The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and "rub the Right's nose in diversity", according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.  
 
He said Labour's relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to "open up the UK to mass migration" but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its "core working class vote".   As a result, the public argument for immigration concentrated instead on the (false)  economic benefits and need for more migrants.

Melanie Phillips:  Labour destroyed Britain's cultural identity
 
The Government embarked on a policy of mass immigration to change Britain into a multicultural society - and they kept this momentous aim secret from the people whose votes they sought.   Worse still, they did this knowing that it ran directly counter to the wishes of those voters, whose concerns about immigration they dismissed as racist; and they further concealed official warnings that large-scale immigration would bring about significant increases in crime.  They set out to destroy the right of the British people to live in a society defined by a common history, religion, law, language and traditions.

On the desert trail of Tony Blair's millions

2011 - The Telegraph - An explosive new TV documentary reveals the apparent conflict of interests that allows the former prime minister, now a Middle East peace envoy, to earn millions. Six out of seven of the Nolan principles – the code of ethics for public servants enforced by Mr Blair when he was prime minister – “appear to be undermined by Blair’s conduct”.
