The Conservative Party activist in London opines about the Labour Party's promise to take a harder line on immigration, especially for low-skilled jobs: "I was born Sudanese [in Germany]. But beside my African roots, my ancestry is a
rich mix of Saudi Arabians, Egyptians and Turkish all of which were
settlers and migrants. Now British by choice, I am the last person to
talk down immigration or think it is bad, wrong, damaging, or of no
value. Nevertheless, uncontrolled immigration can be damaging to both the
settlers and their hosting nations. Without the right provisions in
place, services and communities become overburdened and both immigrants
and their host could suffer."
Ms. Idris continues her commentary: "Then of course there is the economic issue. And no, not that
‘British Jobs for British workers’ nonsense, but British jobs for those
who pay taxes and put back into the British economy and society. Not
workers who get paid cash under the table. Those who permanently live in
their vans and caravans parked in empty parking lots or building sites
all over the country. The ones who work seven day weeks for weeks before
driving back to their families in Eastern Europe loaded with the cash
they made in the UK’s black economy. Or even folks who rent a house and
illegally live a dozen to a room. People who never pay any sort of tax
(Income, National Insurance, Road or Council) in the UK. Those so called
immigrants aren’t even immigrants, they never even settle in the UK.
They are exploiters who come under the banner of free movement to abuse
the system, our economy and kindness."
