Immigration is a good thing.

In the Times this morning, David Aaronovitch complained about the failure of panellists on the recent and now notorious edition of Question Time, to extol the advantages of immigration in the face of the unattractive leader of the BNP. He said:

'...there was no one to say that it (immigration) had benefited us economically and enriched us culturally. Surely, I thought, it was this unchallenged and cowardly perception of the negative nature of migration, rather than migration itself, that was a part cause of the growth in votes for the BNP.'

No - not cowardly David; just realistic.

Mr Aaronovitch must be mad if he thinks anyone, but him and a few deluded New Labourites, believe that adding another ten million immigrants to the population of this island, would be anything but a disaster for the quality of life of all concerned - especially we already over-crowded Brits. He and I and Baroness Warzai have something in common; we are all the descendants of immigrants, though mine arrived a while ago, in 1895. What I and Baroness Warzai have in common, and Aaronvitch doesn't, is that she and I believe that immigration needs to stop right now, before England becomes one huge, dystopian, high rise city.
