""Don "open door immigration" is not about fairness, equality, or even diversity! Cant you read? "To make us competitive in the global economy"......For fuck sake!! By a (Labour) prime minister.""

Can you read Ake?

Would you like to point out where I have ever advocated an open door policy?

I have merely countered the ridiculous comments you make about training up our own people.

Immigrants end up in the most dead end jobs, on which our own population don't seem very keen to dirty their hands, unless they have qualifications.

Those who are qualified can only find positions where unfilled vacancies exist. If we don't have a sufficient number of home grown doctors to fill those vacancies, we have to fill them with whatever qualified personnel are available.

We can't force people to take up medicine as a profession.

As for the fact that immigrants may prefer their own dress, religion and customs to becoming good conforming Little Britons, it isn't exactly without parallel in British history.

For centuries we have had a Jewish population who fulfil all of those criteria, withaout the slightest detriment to the country as a whole. In fact, they are a positive asset to society.

Your narrow perspective on the different, be they travellers, Muslims, or Aliens from space, does you no credit whatever.
