Prime Minister Boris Johnson was accused of 'scapegoating migrants' in the days leading up to the British general election.
"We are, unfortunately, all too familiar with the rise in hate crimes since the EU referendum because of the negative rhetoric on immigration. Therefore, in an era of polarisation, we would like you to realise the weight your words have—words and language matter," it states."They matter significantly when uttered by politicians but even more so when the current Prime Minister brazenly says them on a world stage.
"I'm not hostile to immigration," Johnson told Ridge."I'm a believer in allowing people to come to this country and I think, you know, if they have talents and they want to do things to make their lives in the U.K. and they can contribute to our country, fantastic." Then-London Mayor Boris Johnson addresses supporters during a rally for the 'Vote Leave' campaign on April 15, 2016 in Manchester, England. Now Prime Minister of Britain, Johnson has vowed to clamp down on immigration in the country.Under the plan, the first category would be reserved for"exceptional talent," with people who possess such talent able to fast-track the process to go to Britain with or without a job offer.
