“Labour lied to people about the extent of immigration and the extent of illegal immigration..."

The Telegraph reports that:

'Lord Glasman, who was made a peer by the Labour leader in the New Year honours list, also claimed that Gordon Brown’s ministers had acted in a “high-handed way” by failing to discuss the issue.

He claimed that working class men were unable to talk about the matters important to them at Labour Party meetings without being labelled sexist or racist.

...

In an interview for the May edition of Progress magazine, he said that under Labour, immigration had become “the big monster that we don’t like to talk about”. He added: “There was no public discussion of immigration and its benefits. In fact there was a very hard rhetoric combined with a very loose policy going on.

“Labour lied to people about the extent of immigration and the extent of illegal immigration and there’s been a massive rupture of trust.” '

So I turned to the BBC and looked to see how they were covering this story . Of course they weren't although they did at least link to The Telegraph's story, so anyone who already knew the about story could find it but heaven forbid that anyone in the UK should learn something negative about the last Labour government from their friends at the BBC.
