Senior Labour grandee Dame Margaret Hodge has rightly accused her own party of being “‘too frightened’ to talk about immigration.”
The new UK ruling party instead is on a campaign of intimidation to quash the uprising against Britain’s suicidal immigration policies. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has now warned that rioters have lost respect for police. Her solution to restore public confidence is to flood the streets with even more police, which will only backfire. Disgruntled British citizens who have engaged in the riots can plainly see a two-tier system which favors illegals over hardworking British taxpayers, the very people who pay the wages of traitorous politicians and their police loyalists.
Now that Britain has reached a boiling point, the government and police have turned to desperate means, aligned with fascism.
The most noteworthy point Hodge made beyond the fact that her government is too “frightened” to talk about immigration:
We also have to show we can control our borders. Those who aren’t legitimate asylum seekers, you send back as quickly as you can.
“Labour grandee Dame Margaret Hodge accuses the party of being ‘too frightened’ to talk about immigration,” by Martin Beckford, Daily Mail, August 12, 2024:
A Labour grandee has accused the party of being ‘too frightened’ to talk about immigration.
Dame Margaret Hodge said politicians must highlight the contribution to society of new arrivals as well as showing that the country’s borders are under control by removing failed asylum seekers.
And she warned MPs must not ignore voter concerns about the issue, following low turnout and protest votes at last month’s general election.
Her comments carry weight in Labour as she defeated far-Right British National Party leader Nick Griffin in her Barking constituency in 2010.
The new Government is so far taking a much softer approach than its Tory predecessor to illegal immigration, rebranding it ‘irregular migration’ and scrapping the Rwanda deportation scheme.
Dame Margaret, who stood down at the election after 30 years as an MP, told The Observer: ‘We’ve always been too frightened to talk about immigration. If you’re a politician, you have a voice. We need to use that voice to develop a new discourse.’
She went on: ‘It’s talking about why people are here, what they contribute, the richness they bring to society.
We also have to show we can control our borders. Those who aren’t legitimate asylum seekers, you send back as quickly as you can.…

She went on: ‘It’s talking about why people [Muslim takers] are here, what they contribute, the richness they bring to society.

Troybeam says
What richness they bring, give us a clue. How much was she paid to say that and support the Islamic immigration? No one to admit the mistake of bringing in Islam to the country for fear of riots and such.
OLD GUY says
The richness she is talking about is in her bank account.
Mick says
And maybe her own family’s contribution to UK life. Born Margaret Oppenheimerr to Jewish refugee parents in Cairo in ’44.
She can’t be honest about the Islamic influx without putting her family at risk..
Rick Gordon says
The questions are ‘why are large migrations taking place, why are they coming to the U.K., France, Sweden, etc, etc? Does Europe have sovereign borders?
If the migrants want wholesale change in their new country culture maybe they should rethink why they came.
Bruce David Watt says
why do you let asylum seekers return home for and from vacations?
John Smith says
The reason they are too frightened to talk about immigration is because those at the top (Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner) are in favour of illegal migrants. Both took the knee during BLM protests, but came down heavy on protesters against illegal immigration.
Now Starmer’s recently appointed gestapo the M15 claim that both Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson have the backing of Putin. Christopher Steel former head of MI6 says they will be looking into things like their travel movements and any monetary transfers. Looks to me as if Starmer is already trying to do a Biden, and get rid of any opposition well before the next elections.
Nick says
Agree with you John Smith. Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson are brave patriots. We need more people like them to stand up.

Erich Honecker must be laughing in his grave at how the UK has morphed into an even deadlier version of his former country, even if his former country no longer exists. At the same time, he must be lamenting how the Starmer regime has a media willing to shill for it, unlike in his case, where it was all a captive media
Nick says
The British public made a mistake. Not that they had much of a choice. An atmosphere of disillusionment kept the people from the ballot boxes and those that did turn up voted for the “least worst” party after a terrible period under the conservatives.
Now they have a leftist group in charge who believe (or at least announce) that all protesters against uncontrolled immigration are right wing thugs.
I hope I see Reform UK (Nigel Farage or his nominee) in power in four years time. The political system in Britain is well and truly broken. The British people don’t seem to be represented any more. Witness Starmer’s reaction to the demonstrations! They distrusted politicians before Starmer’s speech. Now they distrust politicians even more and are realising that they cannot rely on the police force or the justice system to protect them.
I hope civil war doesn’t break out in the meantime!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Dame Hodge is sounding not even like any Tory, but like Farage. At any rate, I don’t think her party is too frightened to talk about immigration: they’re on the same side as the jihadists who want to conquer the UK & transform it into a shariah state
A sad situation says
Over 40 years ago I said that the only way we will stop the growth (of Islam) is to confront them, millions will die I may be one of them but we will triumph.That was before mobile phones that see’s the majority of young people with their head stuck to a screen being directed like robots.
