New Labour and it's open door let anyone in policy. But where is Mr Blair now, defiantly not living in places like Westcliff, he just dumped those problems on the locals who had no say in it. Sooner or later the good people who are being attacked will have to meet crime with crime, the police and politicians will not help.
