1 million new British citizens under Blair

British citizenship has been granted to nearly one million foreign nationals since Labour came to power in 1997, official figures showed yesterday.
A record 161,000 obtained a UK passport last year, a 15 per cent increase on 2004, and a further 214,000 lodged applications that are now being processed. Similar numbers are likely to have applied this year, on top of 750,000 new citizens already created in the previous eight years.

Sir Andrew Green, the chairman ofMigrationwatch UK, said: "Grants of citizenship have quadrupled under the present Government. This is a direct result of their 'no limits' immigration policy.

"Immigration on this scale is changing the nature of our society without public consent. It is no longer acceptable .

A poll yesterday indicated that immigration is regarded as the most important issue facing the country, with more than half of voters placing it higher than health or education on a list of concerns.

New Labour= 'New' FF= the triumph of spin

Immigration is not of course seen as of concern to anyone in Ireland.

If it was it would be well represented as an issue in our Dail by our representatives as is the normal democratic pattern.

If immigration is an issue with Irish voters and remains unrepresented, then we are in a pickle and voiceless.
