I nearly burst out laughing when I read the reports of Phoney Blair's "sudden conversion" to the notion that there are serious public concerns over immigration and asylum.
In his speech in Dover yesterday he declared: "Concern over asylum and immigration is not racism its about fairness. It's not racist to talk about immigration."
He unveiled plans for 600 new immigration officers to police Britain's borders, an "Australian-style" points system for economic migrants, and the detention of failed asylum seekers. Where have I heard this before? Ah yea, Michael Howard was saying the same thing only recently, I wonder if he's using the same speech writer?
In his "get tough" stance he listed an array of measures aimed at curbing illegal immigration, including ID cards, the fingerprinting of visa applicants and using detention and electronic tagging on failed asylum seekers.
Now we get to the real phoney bit, he then went on to berate the Tories for "exploiting people's fears" - well Phoney, you're not doing too bad a job yourself.
With all the tough rhetoric its a pity Phoney doesn't know how many illegal immigrants are in the country, he dodged Jeremy Paxman's question on the subject 20 times, yes 20 times in one interview.
Can you trust a man like Phoney Blair - I can't. Pass the sick bag Alice.
