Commonsense has also been sounded by Sir Andrew Green, Chairman of the Migrationwatch think-tank, who has said that Britain's immigration policy was part of the problem. ‘Britain is regarded as a soft touch,’...

We never forget (I am 72) the British who lost their lives in Normandy and elsewhere to fight the Nazis and for the recovery of our freedom. The disgusting misconduct of Sarkozy is also an affront to the people of the Commonwealth who sent their sons and girls from overseas, many...
