WAV: As I say, I'd increase the regulation of immigration/emigration the world over

Yes, I know that's what you'd do if you ruled the world - you've mentioned it already, once or twice. My question was about what changes you'd like to see to immigration into England. You want more English culture and less of all the other cultures: how would you actually achieve that? What 'cultural' tests would you set would-be immigrants, so as to satisfy yourself that Bob from Trinidad and Gurvinder from Uganda and Wally from New Zealand were genuinely English (like you)?

MB: It takes but simple logic to see that for a people to survive as a distinct cultural group they must have their own land so that their own ways can be furthered to the exclusion of alternate ways of life within that specific geographic territory. The alternate ways need to exist in their own territories as well.

Yes, I do think that's what WAV is saying. And I think the 'simple logic' of this "we live here, you lot live over there" mentality is racist at best - a recipe for ethnic cleansing at worst.
