What's the real news about Labour's immigration policy?
A former Labour speech-writer, Andrew Neather, let the disturbing truth slip out in the London Evening Standard. Commenting on a paper for the Home Office in 2001 he says:
the earlier drafts I saw also included a driving political purpose: that mass immigration was the way that the Government was going to make the UK truly multicultural.
I remember coming away from some discussions with the clear sense that the policy was intended - even if this wasn't its main purpose - to rub the Right's nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date.
As usual, this piece of news was not reported on any of the major tv channels.
