I remember Keith being roundly abused here for daring to suggest that unregulated immigration could turn out to be a mistake.

Who can demonstrate that it has been a mistake? We weren't complaining when we could, at long last, get a decent Polish plumber or a Czech NHS dentist a few years back, and we don't moan about the fact that thousands of young women from the EU and beyond are doing the kind of work in our care homes for way under a living wage that we'd rather not do ourselves. The economic downturn that suddenly made immigrants look less attractive was nothing to do with them. And you don't moan about Spain allowing us to offload hundreds of thousands of our gin-swigging, elderly malcontents on to them, do you?
