It has long been suspected that the Labour government of Tony Blair operated a ‘open door’ immigration policy after coming to power in Britain in 1997, as anyone who lived in a large urban centre at the time can attest.
In 2009 a former government adviser confirmed such suspicions, but now a new biography of the former prime minister by the celebrated investigative journalist Tom Bower claims Mr Blair ordered his Labour government not to publicly discuss the issue.
The book claims that Mr Blair and his Government ‘cynically repackaged’ asylum seekers as economic migrants to the benefit of 350,000 asylum seekers.
Tony Blair is accused of ‘presiding over a silent conspiracy’ that allowed two million migrants to enter Britain during his decade in power.
