""So anyone who has any reservations about an unprecedented scale of immigration is "scare mongering scum" and can only have been duped by BNP propaganda.
I do not think that I will join this debate.

That's the way to promote rational discussion Keith....NOT!

Where in my comment do you imagine you found the words
"Scaremongering" and "scum"?

What is it about the plain FACTS I quoted, that leads you to the supposition that I feel that way about those who have, as you put it, reservations.

And lastly, can you adduce actual evidence of an "unprecedented" scale of immigration, or is it your contention that an increase to five percent, over a period of fifty+ years, IS a "flood".

As far as I can see, we have a situation where immigrants tend to congregate in certain locations in large numbers, possibly because they feel safer so, after the somewhat unenthusiastic welcome the first arrivals received.

I can't honestly say I blame them.
