As an Englishman who can trace my family back to the Domesday Book (11th century), I have never had any problem with immigrants to this country. Provided they add something rather than taking I feel that immigration is, on the whole, a good thing. What I feel is wrong, however, is uncontrolled immigration that we now have. The US has population density of 80 people per square mile. The UK has 640 and rising. We have foreign criminals freely admitted to this country because to refuse entry would be an abuse of their human rights.
The signing up to the European Human Rights Bill has left us wide open to abuse. The government of Britain slavishly follows and obeys every bit of “guidance” contained in it as if it were law, while the rest of Europe simply ignores it. It is very easy to live in a country such as America – which I have visited and love – but unless you live here or have visited a lot, things are not always what they seem.
