I'd humbly suggest the classic English response does fit here. France is a lovely country, just a shame about the French! We are out of Europe soon, so the rest of the World is your oyster - go and enjoy.

Very good point, I agree!

The latest rugby matches gave me much the same thoughts. Arguably, abusive criticisim of a nation state team is arguably racism. I'd go further, if there is really no difference between them, then how can we create national teams?

So, I'm quite happy to criticise the Spanish for animal cruelty and the Indians for failing to do anything about poverty in their country etc.etc.etc.

When it comes to immigration, that necessarily comes at a personal level. I have absolutely no issue with anyone coming to this country, provided we have room.

Simply, at the moment we clearly don't. Many people already here have to sleep on the streets, our health service is demonstrably close to collapse, our education service no longer have sufficient funds to continue the present levels of service and even after two decades of very heavy investment, our rail service is still significantly overcrowded and we've lost many higher grade jobs. Even our defence capability us breaking down. Therefore, I'd hold we can't cook with any more people It surprises me anyone would even want to visit, let alone stay.
