Wednesday morning catchup - an immigration special

1) The Standard report the unsurprising news, for anyone who lives in London, that:

'London's secondary school system is dominated by black and Asian pupils, according to a landmark report that warns of "very high" segregation.

The most definitive study of its kind shows that 53 per cent of secondary pupils in the capital are now from an ethnic background, outstripping white pupils for the first time.

The change is due to a surge in the number from an ethnic background over the last decade...'

Don't be under any illusions that this was unforseen. Thanks to Andrew Neather we know that that massive rise in immigration under the last Labour government was not a mistake but because the Labour government wanted to deliberately open "up the UK to mass migration". Thanks to Andrew Neather's revelations we know that this was at least in part due to a politically motivated attempt by Labour ministers to radically change the country and "rub the Right's nose in diversity".


2) Melanie Phillips in The Mail explains the link between immigration and Border Control:

'The real reason is surely an intractable attitude among immigration officials that the Government is finding mighty hard to shift. While the Tories rightly see immigration control as vital for security and the orderly management of the country, their officials’ main preoccupation is instead the speedy processing of people in the passport queues.'
