What is more worrying is the increasingly chauvinistic tone adopted by the British media in discussing the further enlargement of the European Union to 27 and more members. For example the hectoring tone adopted by Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight on Tuesday when interviewing the new minister for European Affairs, Geoff Hoon, about the consequences of admitting Bulgaria and Romania for migration to the UK would not have disgraced UKIP or the BNP.
Indeed Paxman's protracted tirade about "out of control migration" from the new EU countries achieved something I would have thought impossible - to leave me feeling sympathy with Iraq warrier Hoon. One would never have imagined that the evidence thus far is that those EU countries which have been most open in admitting workers from the new EU countries have grown faster and created more jobs than those who have kept the door shut.

How dare Paxman voice what a majority of the British people are now saying.
