Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
It happened there and it can happen here. As for me, I’m stodgy, and like our national character just fine. I want a slow, controlled flow of immigrants to ensure that they adapt to our norms, and not we to theirs.

Now, unsurprisingly, we learn that criminals were taking advantage of the City’s useful idiot policy and playing it for all it was worth. You see, almost a third of the so-called “juvenile” offenders
Continue readingEngland currently has an immigration policy that lets in just about everybody — especially two-bit terrorists from Pakistan and points nearby. England does have some limits, however. It refuses to allow Gurkha veterans — you know, the ones who fought and were willing to die for England — into the
