His revelations in the Sunday Times contributed to the resignation of immigration minister Beverley Hughes. On Monday July 26 the author was dismissed for the crime of "embarrassing ministers", leading to immediate calls in the Sunday Times and Daily Mail for his re-instatement. In the words of David Davis MP, shadow home secretary: "It is outrageous that the man who is primarily responsible for the government having to take a grip of our failing immigration policy has been punished for so doing." In this book Moxon outlines the events that led to the decision that he could no longer participate in a policy that appeared to be at odds with the intentions of Parliament. The book includes an extensive analysis of the relevant scholarly literature in demography, economics and psychology. When the book was originally published the author was pilloried in some quarters for his ‘right-wing’ views — which have since become widely held right across the political spectrum. This new, updated edition includes a long afterword in which the author discusses these developments. Table of Contents      Introduction (full text) Purchase your copy       Books homepage

Stop Press: Sunday Times review (17 October 2004), by Frank Field

"slow-burn Molotov cocktail on immigration . . . the most serious indictment yet published. His revelations in The Sunday Times brought down a minister and confirmed voters’ belief that the government’s managed migration policy is anything but that."

"A basic shift of allegiance could be under way, with Labour’s immigration policy the catalyst. At the last election, I found the Tories won the campaign (on tax cuts and asylum) but voters concluded they were unelectable. Labour might not be so lucky next time."

Other praise forThe Great Immigration Scandal . . .

'Moxon's book is a frightening description of a total failure of government. Its most important -- if unintended -- message is that if the Home Office Immigration Department is anything to go by, Britain is far advanced down the road to losing its independent civil service.'  Myles Harris, Salisbury Review

‘An outspoken account of life in the front line of immigration control. It lifts the lid, not only on the chaos in the Home Office, but on what the author describes as its “progressive institutional failure to apply the immigration rules”. Mr. Moxon, an intelligent and courageous man, put it squarely to his minister that “the Home Office was not concerned with the proper management of cases but with the creation of statistics in the interests of the Labour government”. The reader may come to a similar conclusion.’
Sir Andrew Green, Chairman, Migrationwatch UK

‘A fascinating insider’s account of the immigration and asylum fiasco of 2004, which reveals how bad ideas with harmful human consequences can flourish amidst obsessive official secrecy.’
David G. Green, Director, CIVITAS: The Institute for the Study of Civil Society

'The story Mr. Moxon tells is rewarding to read, and he has combined his anecdotes and rumination on diverse subjects with very well-researched material, especially on why the economic arguments for immigration do not stand up.'  Derek Turner, American Renaissance

‘No short review can do this wise and witty book any justice other than to recommend most strongly that readers buy and circulate copies as soon and as widely as possible.’  David Ashton, Right Now!

. . . and brickbats

and for examples of the contempt of 'progressives' for the huddled masses:

"The best thing about this book is that it saves you the cost of an evening in the pub. Just reading Moxon conjured up the filthy red carpet, the sticky counter, the smoky air and the swivel-eyed patron on the next stool, sharing his opinions. Mmm.. . . the book also demonstrates the pernicious effect of the new breed of immigration Jeremiahs: Antony Browne, David Coleman, Andrew Green."  Will Higham, Progress
