    Labour, who are historically the political arm of the unions, have been indulging in anti-immigration rhetoric that is indistinguishable from the far right.

    Being pro union does not mean you’re pro immigration.

    What’s more, openness to mass immigration is anti labour, as it worsens the positions of the worker (cheap competition who won’t unionize because they don’t mix well with the rest of the population).

    Please don’t conflate those two issues.

    Oh, and currently being “pro-immigration” in EU is synonymous with “I want more poors from other countries”, as that’s the most of immigrants.

      Anti LOCAL labor, a crucial distinction. Not even “anti”, really just decreasing their relative position, putting aside whether or not that position is already above others.

      So, a policy to enforce that raises the rights of one nationality above another. What do we call that? “National” “socialism”?

      You understand the idea of an empire pillaging the world and then trying to restrict access to the spoils?
