I thought Bottler had declared that it was no longer racist to have concerns about immigration but maybe that's because he's worried about the next general electionOriginally Posted by el capitan

Gordon Brown vows to tighten up immigration rules
People should feel free to talk about immigration without accusations of being racist, Gordon Brown said yesterday.
In a major speech the Prime Minister insisted it was wrong to brand people as bigots for raising fears on the subject.
He said Britain's population would not reach 70 million by 2029 as suggested by official statistics, and launched a review of visa rules and working rights for foreign students.
Mr Brown admitted immigration was often seen as a threat where jobs are scarce and wages are falling. Speaking out after the British National Party won two seats in the European Parliament, he said the issue should never be a taboo left for fringe parties on the right to exploit. In the past Labour politicians have spoken out against people attacking immigration.
