Voters Want Truss To Reduce Immigration & Italians Reject EU Warning
Will the Prime Minister listen to voters?

A Huge Mistake
After a solid start last week of tax cuts plus ending the bans on new grammar schools and fracking, I praised the Truss Government. The new PM may be about to make a massive mistake however.
There are several reports that Truss is considering increasing legal mass migration to even higher levels.
To illustrate the level to which we have already seen mass migration recently, just consider this: between 2011 and 2021 England’s population rose by around 3.5 million, with 57% of this due to net migration.


Most Brits consider this level of migration to be too much. This month YouGov found 54% of Brits agreeing that immigration has been too high over the past decade.
Only 20% of the public said the level of migration was about right. Just 11% said it has been too low.
An overwhelming 83% of Leavers and 83% of Tory voters think that immigration has been too high.
There are apparently those in Government pushing for a reduction to migration. Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who also advocates exiting ECHR, is pushing for a cut to numbers.

Liz Truss should seriously pay attention or face a backlash from voters who voted Brexit to take back control and give the Government power to lower migration into Britain.
Italian Voters Reject EU Warning
It looks like voters in Italy have rejected the recent ill-advised intervention from EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
She had warned prior to the vote that:
"If things go in a difficult direction, I've spoken about Hungary and Poland, we have tools.”
It was a spectacular mistake from the EU President that resulted in a pretty widespread backlash from Italian politicians just days before the election.
You even had Poland’s Deputy Justice Minister Sebastian Kaleta weighing in and saying:
“The President of the European Commission suggests that if the Italians elect a Government that Brussels does not like, they may have funds blocked.
"Further proof that the ‘rule of law’ is pure blackmail to impose EU, or rather German, dictates. Such is ‘democracy’.”
In a result that won’t please many in Brussels, the right-wing conservative grouping of parties seems to have won the election. This of course comes just a few weeks after the same happened in Sweden.
The Brothers of Italy party looks to have surged from around just 4% of the vote in 2018 to over 25% of the vote this time.


That means the Eurosceptic Giorgia Meloni is set to become Italy’s first female PM.


This follows on from Marine Le Pen’s party winning a record 89 seats in France and the Sweden Democrats becoming the second largest party. European politics is changing rapidly.
Immigration is a tough one. As you say, Brexiteers want us to take back control of our borders so the illegal immigration from economic migrants is totally unacceptable. Also unacceptable to many people is the level of mass migration from foreign cultures at a level that precludes assimilation into our culture but instead creates ghetto areas of our country. Multiculturalism is a failed experiment and it’s time that critics were not vilified for supposed racism. It’s not racist to state fact.
We do however need a certain level of immigration from people who have the skills we need as a country in order to grow our economy (a major plank in Truss’s strategy). It’s about taking control. I think that most people would support an immigration system such as the Australian points system but only when our porous borders are controlled and illegal immigrants are removed immediately. We only need to send the first batch to Rwanda before channel crossings stop.
The need for skilled immigrants shows another long term example of mismanagement in the UK. Blair helped crush vocational training by setting a socialist target of 50% of our children need to go to university. There was no generalised improvement of vocational training from Blair or the following administrations. The demise of proper old fashioned apprenticeships happened, whilst old polytechnics converted to universities to chase the new money. Now we want skilled people from third world countries, to work here, denying their home countries of the very people they need most. This is lunacy. Added to this, the lower quality Mickey-mouse university degrees, the inundation of woke ideology in our education system and the requirement that you cannot be a nurse or policeman without a degree has resulted in an utter shambles. The recent welcome announcement of ditching the ban on Grammar schools, and building them in more deprived areas needs to be accompanied by a rethink of vocational education and a reduction in the elitist snobbery that a university degree is the bar for getting skilled work. If we get this balance in education right, the need for immigration decreases and the general level of wages will rise.
