Curbing immigration would be a 'disaster' for Britain, says Tony Blair with warning Labour must not chase Ukip votes.



Curbing immigration to Britain would be a 'disaster', Tony Blair has claimed in a warning against Labour copying Ukip policies.

The former prime minister said Labour must be 'really careful' of saying things that suggested Nigel Farage's party is justified in its policies.

The intervention comes as Ed Miliband faces the prospect of Labour being defeated by Ukip in the election of a new police and crime commissioner in South Yorkshire.


Labour has been stung by the dramatic rise in popularity of Ukip, only narrowly holding the previously safe seat of Heywood and Middleton in this month's by-election.

Recent polls have put Ukip on as much as 19 per cent, with Labour neck and neck with the Tories.

Today?s contest was sparked by the resignation of Labour?s previous police commissioner Shaun Wright ? who stood down in the wake of the Rotherham child sex abuse scandal, where an estimated 1,400 children were abused over 16 years by Pakistani gangs.

Funny you should say that, there's a minimum of two indain people in Meat-City that own A LOT of houses. BOTH have been customers of M-H-M and both argued about the cost - both had simple jobs.

He's talking as much shite now than as he did then.

[GastonJ]

He is talking sh*t, but on the back of all the "immigrants are taking our jobs talk".....

How many of you have lost their job to an immigrant?

I only ask because people keep saying that immigrants keep taking their job. Unless you were sacked and an immigrant replaced you in your job that can't be true. If no-one took your job then I'd suspect that the right wing comics are taking the p**s and stirring things as usual. A mate of a mate says isn't good enough........

Think you might find that it was priests who ended that for the boy scouts, too many wanted to lift their shirts to wash with.
