The recent riots at the Labour Party Conference have been condemned by the Home Secretary, who emphasized that disorder and violence should not overshadow a serious debate on immigration.
Yvette Cooper described the incidents of disorder that occurred across the UK following a tragic knife attack at a Southport dance studio as ‘arson’, ‘racism’, and ‘thuggery’.
During her speech at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, Ms. Cooper stressed the importance of properly managing and controlling immigration in the UK to create a fair system. She shared a heartbreaking story of a child who was scared during the disorder incidents in the city, highlighting the impact on innocent individuals.
Ms. Cooper also addressed the issue of criminal gangs profiting from undermining border security and the tragic consequences of poorly managed immigration policies. She emphasized the need for a serious government to take action against these criminal activities.
Shadow Home Secretary James Cleverly criticized the current Home Secretary for not taking enough action to reduce knife crime and violence, as well as for failing to properly support the police in their duties.
Overall, the message from both sides is clear – it’s time for less talk and more action when it comes to addressing the challenges of immigration and border security.
