Joanna Lumley and the Gurkhas, Phil Woolas makes a fool of himself.


"The Immigration Minister muttered that "'I can't say let the nice people in and the nasty people not"." when he got sandbagged once again by Joanna Lumley. But that's why we have an Immigration Minister in the first place." said Nigel Farage, UKIP leader.

"To design and implement an immigration system which lets in the nice people, like the Gurkhas have have shown they are willing to fight and, if need be, die for this country and to keep out the nasty people, like that Romanian rapist.

" I agree that it's difficult to craft such an immigration policy because we've given so much away to the European Union. Very little power remains at Westminster: we British have very little say in who can come to Britain. But we do have some say over the Gurkhas and that's why Phil Woolas has a cushy job, to have that say. Come on Phil, why do you think you get £104,000 a year of our money? To let the nice people in and keep the nasty ones out, isn't it?"

Green condemns "authoritarian, failing" government over his arrest


Damian Green, the Shadow Immigration Minister, said he was “very pleased” with the Crown Prosecution’s decision not to charge him over Home Office leaks.

But he stressed that his arrest was a sign that Labour have “been in power too long”.

"One of my jobs as Conservative immigration spokesman is to expose the many failings of government immigration policy. That's precisely what I was doing in this case and that’s why ministers were so embarrassed."

Damian condemned "the first arrest of an opposition politician for doing his job since Britain became a democracy" - and said:

"I cannot think of a better symbol of an out-of-touch, authoritarian failing government that's been in power too long."
