By 'our own people' I mean people already here by right. Not necessarily of the Volk. They could be of any race, colour or creed but they would not be immigrants. All politicians believe in a difference between British citizens and others.
Politicians of all parties refuse to discuss the matter sensibly. That's the whole problem. Having a debate free from emotion, racism and bitterness is all but impossible because people will not acknowledge reality and think we invite immigrants here as part of a WEF conspiracy or similar internet shite. When it is in fact just economic reality and the need to keep vital services working.
I've said this before. To reduce immigration you first have to have a plan. Then you have to recognise the costs of that plan and be willing to pay to fund it. There is no appetite for it because of that last clause.
It's the 'Piccadilly Gardens' argument all over again. Everyone wants the Gardens back as they were in 1958. Everyone also wants no extra cost to them in consequence. It can't be done.
