‘Go Home’ Vans Banned – Why?

You may have seen the ‘Go Home’ illegal immigrant vans on the news that were touring some of the borough’s of London earlier this year, one is pictured below. Well they’ve just been banned, but interestingly, NOT for being offensive, irresponsible or racist. No they’ve been banned because the posters on the vans referred to inaccurate arrest statistics. Now there’s a turn up for the books.

The Home Office using misleading data, surely not ? It seems to me, Cameron’s Government have clearly failed on their claim to reduce legal immigration to tens of thousands, even when the Government's statistics on legal immigration were exposed as merely guesses. They still seem to care not a jot for the numbers of illegal immigrants in the UK for which negative statistic headlines clearly cannot be produced, other headlines today about border control data clearly proves this. We still don’t know how many people are in this country illegally and or legally. One thing the poster is definitely misleading on, is it tries to make us think that this Government actually intends to do something about immigration, which it obviously doesn’t.

We need to remember that telling immigrants to go home and doing something about it are two different things, and the doing something about it part is totally lacking from this and the past government. If government are doing something about it how come they are given bigger houses and bigger handouts than our very own people, how come their cases goes to the European court whilst ours don't get a sniff?

In truth it’s like Nigel Farage says , it's not the illegal immigrants that are the problem, it's the 'legal' (ie EU) ones , the ones we can't do a thing about thanks to Labour opening our borders over ten years ago, that are the problem. How many are working here and how many indigenous people are unemployed? Do the maths, unemployable is solvable.

Anyway back to the ‘Go Home’ vans. It’s reassuring in many ways that they were banned on a technicality. When I first saw the headlines I presumed The Guardian reading, comfy shoe wearing right-on lefties had won again. Oh dear I thought, these Vans are upsetting illegal immigrants so out comes the race card again! It all turned out to be complete and utter rubbish, maybe we should now get another 1000 vans out everywhere?

Do-Gooders

It was only offensive to the politically correct brigade and the do gooders who find everything offensive and the very same culprits who create problems where there are none. I actually found ‘Liberty’s’ van (pictured below, more of a problem because the wording on their posters could easily have created protests and tensions amongst disparate groups, then chuck into the mix the EDL and the rent a mob whose sole purpose is violence & confrontation of police and we're back to race riots. The Government’s van was saying, if you’re in the UK illegally, we can offer you free advice and help you to leave the UK without being arrested as an illegal immigrant.

Don’t forget illegal immigrants are criminals, so what is wrong with giving criminals a clear message? The PC do-gooders will be complaining about posters warning that there are pickpockets operating next as its offensive to pickpockets.

The ASA are quoted as saying the poster was "unlikely to cause serious or widespread offence or distress". So you could say, why ban it then? If someone is in this country illegally then what is wrong with giving the advice to them to go home? What, in fact does cause "widespread offence" is the proliferation of illegal migrants coming into this country and using it like a one stop shop for welfare, benefits, education and free health care, then trying to change our laws and customs to reflect their own failed medieval culture. If the illegal immigrants find it offensive then maybe they could leave these shores and find a country more tolerant of there incumbent needs and drain on resources.

Smoke Screen

But, at the end of the day, the poster vans were a smoke screen, an ill thought out knee jerk reaction, making out the Tories are strong on immigration. The real current problem on immigration that is crippling our NHS and schools etc is uncontrolled EU immigration. Now Mr Cameron you have an opportunity to do something about that. Give us an in/out EU referendum now or alternatively close our borders to EU migrants today. We all know this will not happen though. The Tories are pathetic on immigration that's why the only answer to sort this particular mess out is to vote UKIP. If we don’t do something, this once great country of ours is well and truly doomed thanks to successive spineless governments!

Do I really think things will get better? Not a chance! What a joke we have become.
