Fountainhall: I agree with a lot of what you wrote but it is a little simplistic. You are right about Blairs government getting the immigration issue wrong and it's is actually a bit rich for the French and Germans to be banging on about free movement when they imposed a 7 year moratorium on immigrants from the new European members. But, the biggest problem is neither of the political parties. It is the failure of Europe to understand the British people and the fact that we are an Island Nation. and have all the qualities and faults that that brings.
