Labour MPs and Leftie lawyers are determined to turn Britain into a dosshouse for the world’s poorest, writes star columnist Carole Malone

Finally, a government minister who has the guts to say it - that illegal immigration is “tearing Britain apart.

And incredibly, the woman saying it is Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, the daughter of immigrants (albeit legal).


But she’s dead right, and currently she appears to be the only person in Government who sees what’s happening and is fighting to do something about it.

But we’re told that her latest moves to control illegal immigration are being thwarted by Labour MPs and Leftie lawyers who are determined to turn Britain into a dosshouse for the world’s poorest.

What the hell is wrong with these Labour numpties? They wait 14 years to get into power, and the minute they do, they start doing everything humanly possible to destroy the country they’ve spent years screaming they want to save.

Do they want to reduce Britain to a poverty-stricken hellhole where people from all over the world can come, bring their huge families and just pimp off our state?

It makes no sense for any Government to c**p on its own people, take their money and give it to illegal immigrants, most of whom hate this country and everything it stands for, but still want our money.

But at least now we know for sure - everything Keir Starmer said about smashing the gangs before the election was a big fat lie because his MPs and Britain’s activist legal system are never going to allow it.

And if we needed anything to confirm how monumentally stupid the people running this country are it’s the fact they see its rapid decline thanks to immigration, they see the divisions and the tensions its created, they see the erosion of our culture, the soaring crimes rates, the rapidly increasing attacks on women yet still they trumpet immigration and demand the rest of us pay for it.

They also know we can’t afford the £2.8billion a year (one fifth of Britain’s overseas aid budget) it costs to support asylum seekers and refugees, yet still they refuse to accept it’s a problem that’s destroying us.

They also refuse to see that trying to integrate millions of (mostly) fighting-age young men from creeds and cultures that are totally opposed to our own is already destroying our culture and our economy.

How thick are they that they see all that and don’t want to stop it?

Maybe it's because they hate Britain as much as the hordes of illegals they’re allowing to come here. They actually want our once wonderful country to be overrun by hordes of men from sub–Saharan Africa who are coming here for benefits and an easy life because they know this government doesn’t have the guts or the will to chuck them out.

But Shabana Mahmood DOES yet already she’s been warned that as long as we’re in the ECHR, those ordered to return home will avoid deportation.

Can you believe these morons are even attacking her because of her vow to stop Britain from being seen as a golden ticket destination for illegal immigrants?

Do these Labour eejits think it should be a golden ticket? Do they think we should just fling our doors open to the world’s poorest and demand that the few Brits who still deign to work here pay for it?

So, they’re not just paying for the millions of idle Brits who refuse to work, but they’re also expected to pay for the hordes of illegals coming here who don’t want to work as well.

Mahmood’s idea- which she’s launching in the commons today (Monday) is that refugee status will become temporary and face review every 30 months.

Also, refugees will lose the automatic right to bring spouses and children here.

Which, to the rest of us, sounds like a fantastic start. She even wants to stop those having their claims processed from getting financial support.

And she’s going to tell judges not to let foreign criminals avoid deportation by using Article 8 of the ECHR, which allows them a right to family life. She also wants a visa ban for countries that don’t take back failed asylum seekers.

All fantastic ideas, which incidentally, the Home Secretary nicked from Denmark, where they’ve successfully done all of the above, but who cares?

The incompetents in this Government and our legal system want to block her.

Why aren’t they seeing what Mahmood is - that furious Brits aren’t prepared to take this anymore. That they’re fed up with being made fools of and are taking to the streets to protest.

Mahmood sees the fear of people who’ve been told that white Britons will be the minority in 40 years and that there’ll be many more Muslims than Christians in Britain.

And they don’t want that. And it’s not racist not to want that. They love what their country is, not what other religions want it to be.

The power-mad Wes Streeting talked recently of a rising tide of racism here. But he’s missing the point. The rising tide isn’t racism – it's Britishness. It’s people no longer prepared to sit back and do nothing while their culture, their religions and their values are stamped out.

And if people aren’t feeling as compassionate towards immigrants as they once did, it’s this Government’s fault for putting the interests of those who come here illegally (and foreign criminals) above those of indigenous Britons.

Because now they feel marginalised in their own country. They’re also furious, and that fury is going to explode into something this Government won’t be able to control because Britons are no longer prepared to be treated third-class citizens in their own country!
