Controlled immigration is wrong approach;
Native Britons want an end to all immigration now.
Michael Howard (pictured) has refused to back down over his uncompromising stance on immigration, which has threatened to hijack the Conservative Party’s wider political agenda.
The Tory leader was repeatedly questioned on his views on immigration at a press conference this morning which was supposed to focus on policing.
He was also forced to deny that a deputation of his own frontbenchers had asked him at the weekend to tone down his harsh rhetoric.
Mr Howard gave warning in a television debate last night that Britain could be torn apart by race riots if people believe immigration is out of control, prompting an angry response from some members of the audience.
His remarks to ITV’s Ask The Leaders programme last night drew comparisons with Enoch Powell’s infamous “rivers of blood” speech on immigration, and he was accused of pandering to race hate.
