I don't think that anyone is picking on immigrants, except the BNP that is. The influx of immigrants has been unprecendented in our history and many parts of the country are struggling with housing, schools, hospitals etc. etc. Especially in the south-east.

That it was a deliberate policy by Blair and Brown, "to rub the noses of the right in it", has come back to bite them on the bum. Many of the white working classes are moving towards the BNP and away from Labour because of this. Too late the realisation has dawned on Labour ministers that they can no longer rely on the white working class vote, hence recent announcements from the politburo. Stable doors and horses springs to mind.
