"Migrant row Tory candidate quits"

If you enjoy a nice bit of hypocrisy, go and roll around in this.

My personal highlight is horsey-face Spelman talking about "the progress David Cameron has made on the issue of migration".

Er, DC is not in government and he has not made progress on anything. Nobody knows what his policy on immigration might be, short of the fact that he'd not take us out of the EU, ergo he wouldn't have much control over immigration even if he were in government.

Or is horsey-face referring to "the progress that David Cameron has made [in tricking the electorate into thinking that he has any idea on how to deal with] the issue of immigration [without actually coming up with any policies]?

The much maligned Nigel Hastilow (who has an unashamedly fine taste in music) wrote the following:

"When you ask most people in the Black Country what the single biggest problem facing the country is, most say immigration. Many insist: 'Enoch [who warned that that uncontrolled immigration would change our country irrevocably] Powell was right'. He was right. It has changed dramatically."

Now, it may be that Hastilow is lying in that nobody has ever said to him that 'Enoch* was right' (which seems unlikely**), but apart from that, this all seems fair enough to me.

I can't help thinking, if the Conservative and Labour governments of the 1960s and 1970s had been fast forwarded to Bradford and Tower Hamlets in the 21st century and back again, maybe they would have been a bit more cautious.

* My problem with Enoch Powell is that he was Health Minister in the early 1960s, and was responsible for recruiting nurses from the West Indies, which may have seemed like a good idea at the time ...

** I have heard plenty of people say this sort of thing. Fact.
