In my view, immigration has definitely been good for Britain. Without it, we really would be in trouble!
but Blair didn't control it, he says he has nothing to say sorry for, yet the labour party has admitted it made mistakes, it should have placed the same controls on Polish people as it did on Romanians and Bulgarians.
