    As it happens so do I, but I have enough humility to realise that I am but one man, far removed from the urban poor who do suffer under high immigration conditions, so i remain sympathetic to their demands for an end to uncontrolled immigration.

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

    Cards on the table.
    I'm an immigrant.
    My mums an immigrant.
    My dads an immigrant.
    Same for my brothers and sister.

    My wife is an immigrant.
    Her family are immigrants.

    I've benefited directly and indirectly. You can take my cappucino, kebab, rotti, roast beef, belgium beer diet away from me over my corpulent grease encrusted dead body.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
