But then there once wasn't such a party called UKIP.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The reason Labour (and indeed the Tories and the LibDems) are now "getting tough" (splits sides laughing) with immigration is because they have finally, finally, realised that it is a major issue for large numbers of the electorate and they can no longer dismiss those concerns as the ravings of racists.
The big announcement last week that the European Court had given the green light for governments to deny benefits to migrants was a red herring. It only applied to Jobseekers Allowance and the court made it clear that other benefits (which cost far more) such as Working Tax and Child Tax Credits, Pension Credits, Hosing Benefit and Council Tax Credits were not subject to the ruling. So a migrant with a partner and two children can still come here, work for 24 hours on the minimum wage (worth £8,112 he works 52 weeks per year) and still enjoy an income, courtesy of the taxpayer, of £27,000 per year.
None of these panic measures would have been propounded by the main parties had the threat posed by UKIP not been present.

Don't see many responses from our resident hard core labour supporters on here.
UKIP have finally shaken up UK politics.
We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to Our Nige for finally getting the mainstream to listen to the majority rather than the chattering class.
But Labour would never do this, instead they will completely sell us out to the EU so we can sink in their (the EU) debt to be forgotten as a country forever.
