Indeed. David Bowie loves ethnic minorities so much he lives/lived in Switzerland - where there are hardly any ethnic minorities.

(Although to be fair he is married to a Somalian born former model)

52% of ethnic minority people in Great Britain/Northern Ireland want stricter controls brought in as regards immigration to the UK (source: Migrationwatch quote of opinion poll on the subject).

Not true, 20% of Switzerlands resident population is of non Swiss
origin.
It is as easy to gain entry to Switzerland with an EU Passport
as it is in any EU country.

I was basing my assessment of Switzerlands population on the CIA factbook site:

https://www.cia.gov/library/publicat...k/geos/sz.html

Which states:
Obviously there is a difference between resident and citizen, and I don't doubt I'd have any trouble waltzing into Switzerland on an EU passport. But your 20% figure surprises me a bit. I didn't think it was that high.

This is the only link I can find at the moment, but you're right about
residency and citizenship, don't forget that Switzerland is bordered
by four EU countries, Myself a UK citizen with "C" status means I am
Swiss in all but name (i.e. I can't vote, that's all) but of course, the
Spanish, Portuguese and Italians who have been here years will not
appear on those CIA statistics, I think that the working foriegn pop-
ulation may be even higher.

I think we are being dispossessed and the process must be reversed.

The broad left - Labour, Liberal Dims, BBC, leftist Church figures, europhiles, most trade union leaders etc. - are anti-English and pro-immigration.

Many Labour activists would like an 'amnesty' to be given to some or all of the estimated (and unwanted) one million (or more) illegal immigrants (and/or 'asylum seekers') in the UK (mostly in England) hoping that their Labour Party will receive back the votes of those people grateful to Labour for allowing them in here despite the opposition of the British people.
