Immigration

 

About two hundred years ago, my great-great-great-grandfather emigrated from Germany to work in appalling conditions in the fur trade in East London as did many poor Jews. A few years before that my mother’s family were driven out of France for being Huguenots.

Immigration has always put the Great into Great Britain by adding an edge that other more restrictive and dare I say racist countries have lacked.

Andrew Green may think he talks for the majority but in a few years times, we will all be wondering what the fuss is about. Just like by late Victorian times, no-one bothered about my family as they made their way in London.
