Re: Unstoppable migration?

I notice that, in his latest speech, Corbyn's now acknowledging that mass migration has caused serious pressures on services etc. and that those who raise concerns about the fact aren't racists or xenophobes. It'd be nice to believe that he means it but all too often these people only ever seem to acknowledge stuff like that when they're up against a wall and need votes. Once they've got their way at voting time it's back to the same old denial and accusations of bigotry...

I’ve already talked about how some industries are affected by the undercutting of wages and the action that can be taken to tackle that. But some communities can change dramatically and rapidly and that can be disconcerting for some people. That doesn’t make them Little Englanders, xenophobes or racists. More people living in an area can put real pressure on local services like GPs surgeries, schools and housing.
Tell that to Pat Glass and Gordon Brown amongst others eh?...
