The ironic thing is that Yvette Cooper criticises the UKs Conservative Party for not dealing with illegal immigration. Actually its not ironic at all. The UKs Labour Party created the problem. So it can hardly criticise anyone else for it.
Some months ago the UKs Home Office under the leadership of the Home Secretary Theresa May carried out a campaign to to get illegal immigrants to go home of their own accord rather than face arrest. Believe it or not various vans were sent around London with the message go home or face arrest printed on them. These vans drove around the London boroughs which were known to home to many illegal immigrants. There was also a plan to use such vans all around the UK.
Predictably the plans were ditched after critics condemned them. Not only was the national campaign ditched the van campaign in London itself also came in for a lot of stick. This wasnt in the least bit surprising. Leftist or anti-racist activists have very big mouths and loud voices and therefore they get a hell of a lot of air- and text-time on the BBC in The Guardian New Statesman and The Independent. They also shout a lot in our regional newspapers. On top of all that the van campaign also had to deal with the considerable political power of the rights and race industries (which are thriving at the moment). By Leftist/Marxist definition what Theresa May attempted to do was racist.
Why? Because most of the illegal immigrants she targeted would have been black and brown. That meant that the campaign was automatically racist. Thats no surprise because its also racist to criticise Muslims who happen to have brown skin; as well as racist to imprison terrorists or criminals who also happen to have brown or black skins. Any negative act by a white person or in this case by a white government towards a person of colour - even if that act is not determined by that persons skin colour - is deemed to be racist. This is the Leftist/Marxist logic which says that when people with political power (i.e. white people) criticise or act against people without political power (i.e. blacks and browns) it is always and automatically racist literally!
Of course Leftists never put all this in simple English. Thats because they know that were they to do so what they say would turn out to be either utterly banal or completely unacceptable or false (as is often the case with post-modern and post-structuralist philosophy). Hence the weasel words and the pretentious jargon behind all the PC b.s. Following on from that Leftist catechism (that targeting immigrants is targeting brown and black people and is therefore racist) our shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said that the go home van campaign was divisive.
Really? I really dont understand that. The word divisive is clearly Cooper-code for racist. But because that word is too blatant Cooper used the word divisive instead. In other words making Trotskyist/progressive noises even when youre a Labour politician can often backfire. Whatever the case how can it be said that the campaign was racist - or divisive - if it was aimed at illegal immigrants; not at legal immigrants or specifically at black or brown people (many UK illegals have white skin)? What divisions exactly would such a campaign have created if the objects of that campaign werent British in the first place? However the Anti-Racist A Team would have made darn sure it was divisive simply by trying its best to make it divisive. That is they would have made the issue all about race yes race again! - and nothing at all about illegality illegal immigrants taking the jobs of British people the creation inner-city conflict and all the rest. Thus when someone - such as Yvette Cooper - uses the word racist the entire country - or at least the political establishment seems to go into thought-death. And thats precisely why Yvette Cooper used the scare-word divisive.
The ironic thing is that Yvette Cooper criticises the UKs Conservative Party for not dealing with illegal immigration. Actually its not ironic at all. The UKs Labour Party created the problem. So it can hardly criticise anyone else for it. Between 2000 and 2010 the Labour Party engaged in one of the most massive social experiments the UK has ever known when it deliberately flooded the country with over one million immigrants. It did so completely behind the backs of British voters including Labour Party voters. Why did it do so? It did so in order to alter the racial and political balance of the UK for its own political and ideological benefit. Since the Labour Party has been in favour of mass immigration and immigrants who were legal yesterday (in Labour-time) are often illegal today (in Conservative-time) you can only assume that Yvette Cooper said what she said simply to score political points against Theresa May and the Conservative Party; not because she has a genuine problem with illegal immigrants.
As I said many of the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who were deemed legal under Labour Party rule (1997 to 2010) would now be deemed to be illegal. The difference then is largely technical not one of principle. Finally many pro-immigration zealots appear to claim that theyre only in favour of legal immigration. So it was a surprise no it wasnt! - how much of a fuss these very same people also made about Theresa Mays campaign against illegal immigrants. What these anti-racists or Leftists say about all issues concerning legal immigrants they also said about the campaign against illegal immigrants (i.e. it too was racist or xenophobic as well as other things with ist on the end). In other words these anti-racist campaigners are tacitly - though sometimes explicitly - arguing in favour of illegal immigration too.
Or to put it in another and more honest way nearly all Leftists and many pro-immigration campaigners believe in complete and unrestricted immigration into our country. The extreme Left in the UK (such as the SWP-Counterfire-UAF Respect Hope Not Hate etc.) as well as the Gramscian hegemony which can be found in large parts of the law virtually the whole of the rights and race businesses the universities the charities parts of the BBC the Guardian etc. are largely in favour of illegal immigration and indeed mass immigration.
They are so for three main reasons: 1) Primarily it is because they are internationalists. This means that nationhood - and therefore borders - means nothing to them. 2) They also want to wipe out - or significantly reduce - the number of people with white skin in the UK because being white (unless youre a middle-class Leftist) is in itself somehow racist. 3) More importantly the more immigrants there are the more instability unemployment and social chaos there will be. Thats a very good thing for Trotskyists. In other words chaos instability race riots and high unemployment will benefit International Socialists . (It will also benefit their totalitarian brothers: the National Socialists.)
Instability and conflict as well as extreme poverty and unemployment is manna from heaven for the extreme Left. How else will they ever have a chance to bring forward the complete and total revolution they so desire? In other words the worse it is the better it is" for revolutionaries; as well as for Nazis (who also often class themselves as revolutionaries and anti-capitalists). Out of the chaos the violence and the mass unemployment (which will be largely brought about by unrestricted mass immigration) the phoenix of revolutionary International Socialism or National Socialism (take your pick) will arise. And all this can only be a good thing... if youre a Nazi or a Trotskyist/progressive.
