Now, you have been lied to for decades. You’ve been told that you must accept millions of people entering this country. And for what?
Beyond the baseless claims of “cultural enrichment” made by multiculturalists, we were always told that mass immigration would be good for the economy that it would lift all boats.
That was the dominant argument running through much of the commentary on immigration from the 1990s onwards.
For years, the liberal establishment insisted that more people meant higher GDP, and that could only be a good thing a more productive, more dynamic economy. We’ve reached a point where our economic model is one giant Ponzi scheme, built on a pack of lies.

But now, a new bombshell report from one of the world’s most powerful global institutions the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has shattered that long-held consensus.
The IMF now admits that low-skilled mass immigration is, shockingly, suppressing wages for the poorest workers in the West.

But is this really news? I ask: is this really a bombshell? Or is it simply the latest report confirming what many of us have known for years that the liberal establishment has been getting this wrong for decades?
The forgotten majority the workers, the plumbers, the electricians have understood this instinctively. Flooding the country with low-skilled labour was always going to make them poorer. It’s basic economics: supply and demand.
Whatever mental gymnastics the establishment has tried, the evidence has always been in plain sight.
If mass immigration makes us richer, then why is it that in the three years leading up to 2024 — when net migration reached 2.3 million, an absolutely astonishing figure — we saw such stagnant economic growth?
If immigration is good for the economy, why is productivity in the toilet? Why is GDP per capita going in the wrong direction? Productivity in this country has barely grown in over 15 years.
And if mass immigration is really improving our lives and driving prosperity, then why is our economy being hollowed out to such an extent?
The answer is obvious: big business and large corporations have become addicted to cheap migrant labour. It keeps their costs low and their profits high but it does not drive shared prosperity.
The establishment doesn’t want to answer these questions, but the truth is simple: mass, uncontrolled immigration is making us poorer.

When you flood the economy with this scale of demographic change, you undermine British workers. You remove the incentive for companies to innovate or increase productivity.
Even the Office for Budget Responsibility part of the very “Blob” that pushes these policies acknowledges that low-skilled migration is a net drain on the British taxpayer.
So what should we do? We need to radically reduce immigration down to very small numbers. We should only be allowing in people who are genuinely highly skilled, working in high-wage sectors, and coming from culturally compatible nations.
Successive governments have pursued the mass immigration experiment despite repeated electoral mandates from you, the people, demanding the very opposite. Nobody voted for this.
