Farage’s Mass Deportation Plan Is Racist, Says Starmer
Sir Keir Starmer has slammed Reform UK’s mass deportation plan as “racist”, saying Nigel Farage’s promise to kick out hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants would “tear Britain apart”. The Telegraph has more.
His criticism of the Reform leader’s policy came ahead of the official opening of Labour’s conference in Liverpool where Sir Keir will attempt to reassert his leadership after weeks of forced resignations in his Cabinet and a slump in the polls.
Last week, Mr Farage announced plans to force non-EU migrants with permanent residency to reapply for visas under stricter criteria, including a higher salary requirement and a better standard of English.
Sir Keir told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg: “What was said last week about deporting migrants who are lawfully here, who’ve been here for years, working in our hospitals, in our schools, running businesses, our neighbours, and Reform say they want to deport them. That would tear our country apart.”
Asked if he thought the policy was racist, the Prime Minister replied: “Well, I do think that it’s a racist policy. I do think it’s immoral, it needs to be called out for what it is.”
Sir Keir had earlier said: “It is one thing to say we’re going to remove illegal migrants, people who have no right to be here. I’m up for that. It is a completely different thing to say we are going to reach in to people who are lawfully here and start removing them. They are our neighbours.
“They’re people who work in our economy. They are part of who we are. It will rip this country apart. We are, at the moment, a leading member of the Coalition of the Willing, corralling and bringing together European countries to fight the aggression of Putin.
“Imagine if Reform came in and they were cosying up to Putin – the impact that would have on our security and defence.”
However, Zia Yusuf, Reform’s policy chief, hit back, saying: “Labour’s message to the country is clear: pay hundreds of billions for foreign nationals to live off the state forever, or Labour will call you racist.”

The ol’ “immigrants work in hospitals, are teachers and the best in society” lie. More than half of all immigrants are totally unemployed…
Twat.
Why aren’t immigrants with super skills working in their own Countries?
Their – poorer – Countries incurred the cost for their education and training in order to contribute to economic progress there. They had all the cost and no benefit, we get all the benefit and no cost. That is making poorer Countries, poorer.
That is immoral.
It is also immoral to deny our own skilled young people good jobs because they are displaced by cheap “skills” from poorer Countries.
Our investment in education and training is lost, our skilled people cannot reach their full potential.
The whole thing is a rotten lie – since the 1950s and need for cheap labour to keep wages down in the State-run industries and “our” NHS.
Starmer-the-Contemptible says Farage’s mass deportation plan is “racist”.
So, if our people defend themselves from the madleft’s scheme to replace them, they are tarred with the ultimate heresy accusation to make them shut up. Unfortunately for the madleft these kinds of accusations no longer work – because we can all see that The Great Replacement is motivated by madleft racialism. We’ve all witnessed the madleft’s incandescent hatred of white people, especially the white working class. We’ve all seen the Anti-white Party’s operatives taking down our national flags. We’ve all witnessed the endless denigration of our people by the madleft haters. Everyone understands now on which side of the political spectrum the real racialists are located.
Starmer and his ilk are indeed racist against their own kind, because they are oikophobes. Projection is very prevalent generally, especially in politics, but across other contexts too, and I’ve seen many examples of it on here over the years. Some people will always accuse others of behaviour they themselves are guilty of demonstrating. I don’t know how many are doing it subconsciously because they genuinely lack self-awareness, and how many use it as a deliberate tactic, as a way of deflecting attention away from their own bad behaviour and failings, thereby demonstrating blatant hypocrisy. Is Starmer seriously devoid of self-awareness when he comes out with this stuff or is he behaving tactically? ”There’s a trick at the heart of the modern Left. They shout “hate” while dripping with it. They cry “fascist” while building the very machinery of tyranny. Every insult hurled at the people is a confession of their own rot. This isn’t politics in the old sense. It’s a racket. An industry. Whole armies of activists, “charities,” NGOs, foundations and quangos living off taxpayer funds while branding the same taxpayers as dangerous extremists. Their language of moral panic is not about justice. It’s about keeping the cash… Read more »
Well said.
Thanks for posting Mogs.
“…these kinds of accusations no longer work..
Worn threadbare by over-use.
The “cosying up to Putin” is wearing thin, if not completely disintegrated.
Plus “Go Europe!” in the Ryder Cup!!!
“….working in our hospitals, in our schools, running businesses, our neighbours…
Come on now Kneel how many muzzies have you got as neighbours? Any illegals by any chance?
F O.
And I’m very confident they will find *no correlation whatsoever* with a certain demographic ( that *might* just be over-represented in these figures ) that work in hospitals;
”Over 35,000 sexual safety incidents! 6,500+ rapes and assaults were reported in NHS hospitals (2017–2022)…
Women patients and staff are at risk, with under-reporting likely…
Wake the fuck up people!

Good grief !
It’s not the total number, it’s the number per capita – the incidence – of a particular demographic that matters
It might explain why nothing works though.
He might be ‘up for that’ but he has to distract people from his lack of action… so he calls the Reform leader’s policy ‘racist’. I doubt that the distraction works any more.
Deportations “would tear our country apart.”
And wholesale imports are not tearing this country apart?
Hmm?
Are you telling non halal porkies again Kneel?
Well the net effect of treating ex-EU citizens differently to other immigrants is almost certainly going to be to favour white over non white immigrants. It’s hard not to believe that this was the intention. I guess you could call that racially motivated. I don’t particularly have a problem with that, speaking as an ethnonationalist racist. What I have reservations about is changing the basis on which people are able to stay in this country retrospectively.
Farage isn’t happy with EU citizens having any rights in Britain, either. He’s just not planning to take on them immediately but their status is eventually supposed to be “renegotiated”, that is, tear up the EU withdrawal agreement and restart the whole shitshow from scratch.
As the home office told me in 2010, I’d gain a permanent right of residence in December 2015. This was derived from an international treaty the UK chose to tear up instead. I was then made to reapply for a legal status and was awarded so-called settled status in 2020, also supposed to be permanent but still derived from international treaty. That the latter would be worth more than the former in this respect was never something I was particularly willing to trust in.
“Imagine if Reform came in and they were cosying up to Putin – the impact that would have on our security and defence.”
What defence would that be Kneel? You can’t even defend this island from a few Turd Worlders arriving daily and currently unarmed in rubber dinghies.
“Security and defence.” 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Coalition of the willing?” You’d better get your combats on because ain’t nobody in this country will follow your orders.
What an absolute Next Tuesday.
To be fair if people have been given indefinite leave to remain under our current very lax rules, Reform toughens up the rules, makes people reapply for the right to stay in this country and they end up not passing the test and being deported it’s pretty harsh on these people. Unfortunately there’s no other way of sorting out the mess resulting from decades of open borders and the blame for the disappointment and shattered dreams lies firmly with the governments that let these people stay in the first place
A harsh reaction will be necessary I fear. We need to shatter the perception that the UK is a ‘land of milk and honey’ for migrants.
If that involves us being called nazi racists then so be it. The insults are now rendered meaningless through overuse.
I do not see it as “pretty harsh” when people are told their expected route to unearned prosperity and security is not going to happen for them. It will be a disappointment but that is the case for many people inm many situations, not least the established population when jobs, homes and reseources are siphoned off for non-Brits.
Here’s a very interesting essay on the current situation. It’s a bit of a long read but I think the author’s summary is pretty close to the mark.

Both the Guardian readers agree with two-tier

And if the ones being deported are white, European ….. but can’t speak English, don’t work and are sponging off British taxpayers, is that WAYCIST as well Two-Tier?
The man’s a fool. We already know that, he doesn’t have to keep opening his mouth and proving it over and over again.
Throwing people out of England who can’t speak English, don’t work, and live in self created ghettos is racist, better tell Denmark!
Just think of all those block postal votes that Kneel would lose if they went home.
Here’s a short history of the Jewish people in western Europe awareness of which is apparently not as widespread as it should. In the first century BC, the Roman empire expanded into what is called Palestine nowadays. Initially, this meant that the kingdom of Israel which existed in this area remained intact but became a Roman satellite state of the kind which were common in the immediate vicinity of the borders of the empire. A significant part of the Jewish population wasn’t happy with this, though, and there was a string of military uprisings against Roman control the Romans eventually grew tired off. After they had conquered the country for another time, they thus abolished the state of Israel and incorpated its former territory into the empire as ordinary Roman provinces. This created the so-called Jewish diaspora. The Jews eventually became Roman citizens when Caracalla awarded this to all free-born male people living within the empire in 212BC. This lasted until the end of the forth century BC, when the Western Roman Empire was conquered by Germanic tribes and thus, ceased to be. The Jews now reverted to the state of stateless foreigners who had no rights anywhere, were generally… Read more »
Fast forward to today, the Reform leadership is of the opinion that foreigners shouldn’t ever have been awarded any rights under British law as they’re just selfishly exploiting these for their own purposes at the expense of all others, anyway. The plan is thus to strip them of them and deport as much as possible immediately. The lives of the others are to be made progressively more uncomfortable to get them to emigrate voluntarily. Farage’s muslim sidekick has spoken of “hundredthousands” he plans to get rid of in this way. This implies them becoming barred from holding any propery in Britain, even if they already own it. EU citizens are exempt for now but as these are still foreigners with rights they shouldn’t ever have been granted, this is supposed to be dealt with by “renegotations” in future. This means at the very least, the time to stop pointing fingers at Germans is now as Farage’s policy proposals are not only virtually identical to the polices enacted in Germany in 1930 in this respect and use the exact same justification, just with less justification because we never sided with your enemies in a war, but are literally what Hitler calls… Read more »
Racist, Far Right, Fascist, Neo-Nazi – really these buffoons need some new adjective and pejoratives, it’s getting boring.
