Immigration, the Label of Populism?
When I came to this country in 1995, 3% of the British public thought that immigration was a major issue because it wasn't a major issue. And then you have the Blair era where more people came into this country in about 10 years than had come into this country between 1066 and 1950. The problem we have with immigration is countries, not that immigrants are bad people. It's like the great man Joseph Stalin said, the quantity has a quality all of its own. You can be in favor of immigration without thinking that open borders is a great idea.
