Brown fiddles immigration figures and turns deaf ear
Sunday, 4th April 2010
Gerald Warner in today's Scotland on Sunday say's Suddenly, it is all right to talk about immigration: the Great Leader says so – look, he is even doing it himself. He (Brown) is, of course, telling porkies on a scale that obliges Sir Michael Scholar, chairman of the UK Statistics Authority, to slap him down in a stiff letter, in order to "protect the integrity of official statistics".
Warner concludes his article "Today, an immigrant arrives in Britain every minute. Gordon Brown insists a "pre-determined quota" would be "arbitrary and unworkable"; David Cameron wants a cap on immigration but refuses to say what it would be, except that he would "reduce" immigration to "tens of thousands a year". Yes, they are certainly talking about it; but that is all they are doing. That is probably just as well: who would believe any promises they might make anyway?"

Nothing new in Gordon Brown exaggerating slightly, remember when he "saved the world" or when talking before Copehagen he said "we have five weeks to save the world". In case you haven't noticed Gordon it's still here.
At the 2005 General Election the Labour Party along with the rest of the LibLabCONsensus all promised a referendum on the EU Constitution now the Lisbon Treaty. When taken to court for failing to hold the referendum, Gordon Brown's barrister said "Manifesto Pledges are not subject to legitmate expectations" If that is so then can you believe anything you will see on the election manifestos of these three parties?
