That's a bit strong Geezer! People vote for whoever they think comes across with promises that they are impressed with and believe in, and have the right to choose whatever party they want, rather than not vote at all, especially at the moment when it's really a case of tossing a coin!
Fair enough Pam but it was clear from the early noughties that the Government had lost control of our borders.
Convincing arguments have been placed in some very respectable newspapers and confirmed by Labour insiders (at least one of these I think was an ex minister) that Labour engineered this immigration explosion whilst at the same time introducing the tax credits regime to create a whole new underclass in the UK who would vote for them and keep them in power.

The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and "rub the Right's nose in diversity", according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.
He said Labour's relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to "open up the UK to mass migration" but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its "core working class vote".
As a result, the public argument for immigration concentrated instead on the economic benefits and need for more migrants.
So yes all those who voted Labour must have agreed to this policy and in doing so must shoulder some of the blame for the state of our inner cities today.....
