Riots Could Sweep Streets of Britain if Immigration Not Curbed ? Rachel Reeves Sun Aug 04, 2024 09:00 | David Craig
Riots could sweep the streets of Britain if immigration is not curbed, Rachel Reeves said in 2016. Yet the now-Chancellor's prescient warning was nowhere to be found in Labour's response to the current disorder.

Until this week, Keir Starmer told us the criminal justice system is at capacity, says Laurie Wastell. Turns out, we can clamp down on crime and disorder just as long as the target is the reviled white working class.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Newstalk 106 is reporting that we are to have two referenda within the year.
One on the Reform Treaty and one on Child Protection.
I included the issue of the Referendum on Child Protection in here because the issues
in the Referendum on protection will address the issues raised by the Criminal law
Bill which went through the Dail as emergency Legislation in 2006 and was amended to
included solicitiation in early 2007. On September the 10th 2007,aspects of the protection
of children were enacted as part of the Criminal Justice Bill 2006- which was introduced
to the Dail by Minister Mc Dowell and was referred to the Council of State by the President.
This involves sections of the Criminal Justice Bill , the PDF's and
explanatory are at :- http://www.justice.ie (September 10th 2007)
Sections of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences) act 2006 (amended 2007)
are constitutionally challengeable , particularly Section 5 , the initial wording of the
referendum will outline protections for kids and the wording will indicate if they
are in line with Ireland's international obligations. Mr Ahern states that the two referenda
may be on the same day dependent on the 'matters arising'
E. Gilmore has changed the porfolios of the front bench. Pat Rabbitte is taking on Justice.
Brendan Howlin gets Law reform and Constitutional reform- in FF, Law Reform is partnered with
Justice in the same portfolio, so the area divided by Labour signals a change in approach to
the issue of FF portfolio division.
Michael Mc Dowell, it will be remembered, caused multiple problems in the Department
of Justice, Equality and Law Reform with introduction of laws that are unconstitutional and
did not address the issues of child protection/ statutory rape/human trafficking under
Ireland's duty of protection to the child in adherence to international rights and treaties.
The Laws at issue are still on the statutes and as Mary harney proclaimed were drafted within
'The Constitutional Framework'.
Richard Bruton retains the deputy leadership, but 7 front-benchers have lost their portfolios.
There is no information as yet ,if Enda Kenny has shuffled or divided the portfolios as Labour have.
Labour split Justice, Equality and Law reform between Brendan Howlin and Pat Rabbitte.
Rabbitte has Justice and Howlin has an interesting new portfolio entitled:- Law Reform and
Constitutional matters. When News comes out about the FG re-shuffle, I shall put it on here.
Jan O Sullivan form Labour got the Health Portfolio, whilst Joan Bruton retained Finance.
There are new FG front-benchers, and mostly they are men. Two doctors that got elected
in the recent election are named onto the front bench.
