BRITAIN’S white working class feels it has been “betrayed” and “abandoned” in favour of immigrants, a Government report has revealed.
Poor white people living on some of the country’s most deprived estates believe they are the biggest victims of a decade of mass immigration, according to the study.
Critics say the report proves that Labour’s failure to heed warnings about the impact of its uncontrolled immigration policy has created growing resentment and community tensions.
Many people believe immigrants are better treated in terms of housing, benefits and jobs and now fear that their territory and “national culture” are under threat.
But they also feel unable to complain for fear of being branded racist.
“The danger for the rest of us is that this has now created a ticking time bomb of racial and class prejudice.”
Eighty per cent of the public want to see a substantial reduction in immigration but the Government refuses to address the issue.
“The root is the massive level of immigration that the Government has not only permitted but encouraged. The working class has been the most affected but it has been silenced by the forces of political correctness.
“The remedy is in the Government’s hands. It must cut immigration very sharply.”
Researchers interviewed people on estates in Birmingham, Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, Thetford in Norfolk and Runcorn and Widnes in Cheshire.
Although some voiced sympathy for asylum seekers and immigrants doing unpleasant jobs, there was a widespread perception that immigrants were competing with them for public resources.
