Debating with Joanna 3rd September 2019

On the Immigration Act of 1971:
“It was also partly passed to legally clarify the rights of Commonwealth citizens within the United Kingdom in preparation for future membership of the European Communities which the UK became a member state on 1 January 1973 which gave new automatic rights to EC member state citizens...
... The government saw a need to appease Canada, New Zealand and Australia over the future negative impact on them when Britain would join the European Economic Community ...
One result of the Act was to stop the permanent migration of workers from the Commonwealth of Nations. ...”

“Our platform has seven tenets: Trade, Mobility, Trust, Diplomacy, Security, Research and Sovereignty. Together they advance a plan to provide economic and social benefits to all four countries without intruding on national autonomy.”

On the 'devil that never dies':
"A hallmark of Labour’s anti-Semitism crisis is the argument that if someone is anti-racist, they cannot be anti-Semitic... Jews, in their eyes, are a white, rich, powerful elite, unworthy of the solidarity or protection normally afforded to ethnic minorities.
This is not just racist, it’s also false: there are many Jews of colour and there are many Jews who live below the poverty line...”

"Does Labour, my party, have a problem with anti-Semitism? When someone like Gerry Downing, a member of the Socialist Fight organisation, can demand that the “Jewish problem” be addressed,... it’s clear that it might. And when Vicky Kirby, Labour’s former candidate in Woking, who was suspended after tweeting “What do you know abt Jews? They’ve got big noses and support Spurs. lol” gets readmitted to the party, one feels still greater unease.”
