What the petition asks
Since Labour were voted into power in 1997, they ignored their campaign pledge to control immigration, and in fact allowed open, uncontrolled immigration without the permission or input of the public. Send back all non-europeans which have moved here since 1997 to reverse these unwanted changes.
'Every country must have FIRM control over immigration and Britain is no exception.' -1997 Labour manifesto.
'...immigration rules will remain clear, FIRM and fair.'- 2001 manifesto.
Nothing about letting everyone in, destroying NHS, housing prices.
1997 net immigration was 40,000 per year.
1998, one year after labour, jumped to 140,000 per year!
By 2001 it was 171,000 per year
By the end of Labour's 2nd term 2005, 267,000 a year!
When Blair stepped down in 2007 he left us net 273,000 per year.
