Labour frontbencher hits out at Miliband over immigration
Thursday, 22 August 2013 7:24 AM By Ian Dunt
Ed Miliband is too concerned with poll ratings to adopt a principled stand on immigration, Diane Abbott has said.
The Labour shadow health minister said the party was danger of entering into a "downward spiral" with the Tories on immigration, after Australian election strategist Lynton Crosby joined David Cameron's team...
..."So I think Ed himself means well and is doing his best but as a party we should do more because, it's what I said, it's a downward spiral."
The Home Office's attitude to immigration has noticeably hardened recently, with tweets of immigration raids, spot checks by UK Border Agency staff and a mobile van telling illegal immigrants in certain boroughs of London to "go home".
Some cite Crosby as the likely source of the initiatives. In a 2001 federal election in Australia, he was said to be responsible for the false claim by some ministers that a boat of asylum seekers had thrown their own children overboard.
"I think he's going to be a very toxic influence on the type of general election campaign we're going to have and I think Cameron should sack him," Abbott said...

Nowhere is there any mention of a drive towards increased immigration. It seems to me to be an argument against the Politics of Hate.
No wonder the right-wing of UKIP is so upset.
