I am not aware that any party has "reversed its views".

"The Blair/Brown governments encouraged immigration."

That is an extremely dishonest response to my post. My comment referred clearly to UNREGULATED immigration, not "immigration". I would also point out that in the Blair/Brown era you refer to, we were desperate for those plumbers, electricians, dentists and all the rest and we welcomed them with open arms. Funny how so many people can get a little bit racist when times change, isn't it?
