“We risk becoming an island of strangers”, says Starmer of the UK.
A white paper has been published indicating that care workers could no longer be recruited from overseas; migrants would have to wait 10 years to apply for settlement instead of the current 5 years; adult dependents would need to have basic English skills, and a tax on universities earning income from foreign students could also be introduced.
Rather than rabbiting on about the economic “benefits” of immigration, Starmer says that mass immigration has done “incalculable damage” to his country's economy.
He has received opposition even from within his own party, but unlike our pansies, he is prepared to say what he thinks is best for the country, not himself and the self-serving vote scrabblers just wanting to get elected.
Further to his apparent ability to learn and change, Starmer is also thinking about introducing a version of the Rwandan-style plan for illegal arrivals that he criticised the Tories for when they wanted to introduce it. He might know how to get around the non-elected activist judges, aloof from the realities of life, who interfered with democracy last time.
Starmer’s ideas are quite novel among career politicians, particularly in Australia, where we take in more immigrants per capita than any other country, including the UK.
