DEAR BBC:
It's possible to be concerned about mass immigration from cultures inimical to those in the west without being a knuckle-dragging member of the far right, without being against gay marriage, or anti-feminism and all the rest.
Polls show 75% of British are worried about mass immigration. There's a reason for that. About time the BBC recognised that rather than dismissing it as ignorant or racist.
The fellow you just had on World Service, talking about Spain, he's half Spanish etc, was a classic example of the arrogantly dismissive attitude of those that call themselves of the "progressive" left.
Well I live in China and I know all about what crazy leftism can do as well. (China 1949-79).
And I know how good cultures can be swamped by those less good. (Rome, by the barbarians from Germania...)
