For decades, the Labour Party and others have told us that the arrival of people from Africa, the Middle East, Asia and from other parts of the world was 'a culturally enriching experience' and that we in Europe should consider ourselves fortunate for having the privilege of welcoming people from other parts of the world as a way to improve our own lives and living standards.
But... oh, surprise, as soon as the Conservative government reaches an agreement with Rwanda to channel asylum seekers to Rwanda, the Labour Party and others raise their voices saying that 'sending asylum seekers to Rwanda is the ultimate act of cruelty and an example of barbarity'. What has happened? What happened to the enriching experiences they so much talked about? To me, it sounds like the best example of sheer hypocrisy and not only that. The Labour Party's comments against the idea of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda is absolute racism against Rwanda. Rwanda is an African country. And so what? Aren't the Rwandan peoples' entitled to be treated with respect? I am sure that asylum seekers will have a wonderful experience in one of the most developed African countries.
But then again, criticism is coming from a political organisation riddled with anti-Semites. Having changed a leader does not change the fact that anti-Semitism is very much what charaterizes a Labour Party that hates those who have something as long as they are not members or supporters of the Labour Party and this also speaks volumes about the nature of the Labour Party.
