Little Englanders

 

A few facts :-

1. One of the largest groups of recent immigrants to the UK are French. There are a lot of Australians, South Africans, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish etc.
2. Go to a hotel in Cyprus, Australia and a lot of the staff are British young people wanting to work their way round the world.
3. Most of us in this country are at least a quarter immigrant. I'm quarter-German Jewish and quarter-French Huguenot.
4. These fears about immigration were raised with the Jews, Huguenots, Italians, Irish, Cypriots, West Indians, Asians etc.
5. It is all cyclical and in a few years we'll wonder what the fuss is about.
