Black Labour frontbencher Diane Abbott, was called out after making racist comment about whites and made to apologize for statement.


The Labour frontbencher Diane Abbott was forced into an embarrassing apology yesterday after being accused of racism for claiming that “white people love playing divide and rule”.
The storm followed a Twitter exchange between Ms Abbott and a journalist, which was prompted by the convictions of two men for the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
Moments after insisting her remarks had been taken out of context, she was ordered by her party to backtrack. Asked on live television to explain what she meant, she broke off mid-sentence to take a call from the Labour leader, above.
The shadow Public Health Minister then said: “I understand people have interpreted my comments as making generalisations about white people. I apologise for any offence caused.”
She was also warned by Ed Miliband that she would be sacked if she repeated such sentiments.

We Heard You UK & We Don’t CARE


Labour encouraged mass immigration even though it knew that voters opposed it, Whitehall documents confirmed yesterday.
The Government said the public disagreed with immigration because of ‘racism’ and ministers were told to try to alter public attitudes.
The thinking on immigration among Labour leaders was set down in 2000 in a document prepared for the Cabinet Office and the Home Office, but the key passages were suppressed before it was published.
The paper was finally disclosed under freedom of information rules yesterday.
They were also told that large-scale immigration would bring increases in crime, but they concealed these concerns from the public.
Sections of the paper, which underpinned Labour policies that admitted between two and three million immigrants to Britain in less than a decade, have already been made public.
These have showed that Labour aimed to use immigration not only for economic reasons but also to change the social make-up of the country.
Fuller details released yesterday showed that Tony Blair’s ministers opened the doors to mass migration in knowledge of public opposition and with the view that those who disagreed with them were racists.
Yesterday Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling said: ‘The Government has simply not been telling the truth about its policies on immigration.
IMMIGRATION CONTROLS RELAX
New controls on immigration are to be relaxed to allow companies to bring in the workers they want.
Trade Minister Mervyn Davies said yesterday that Labour’s points-based system, aimed at allowing only the highest skilled workers into Britain, had had ‘teething problems’.
He promised a ’slightly differently tailored system’ for employees brought into the country by multinational companies.

The points-based system, introduced last year, was designed to ease concern over the impact of mass immigration of low-skilled and low-paid workers, particularly in traditional Labour-voting areas.
Success for the scheme is central to Labour’s pledge that the population will not be allowed to reach 70million.
‘More and more evidence is now emerging to show that they deliberately planned a big jump in immigration for their own political purposes.
‘Now they are trying to rewrite history to pretend those decisions never happened. Their conduct over all of this has been a complete disgrace.’
