The only case for a limitation on immigration into the UK is Amanda Platell. What skills has she got that indigenous Britons lack? Surely there are enough self-serving, self-promoting, stupid, PR industry failures in the UK so why the need to import them from Australia?
Platell's column in the Times on Saturdays - in which, for instance, she moaned about 'lower class' 'servant' types getting access to her exclusive gym - was a study in affected snobbery. (No, you silly no-mark, you're not in London's version of SATC).
So here she is this morning on Breakfast with Frost, trivializing the appalling Guantanamo Bay story ('we don't have to believe this, it's all on his say-so, and LOOK, LOOK, he wanted to be a 'rap singer', tee hee') whilst affecting po-faded horror at the ludicrous accusations of anti-semitism aimed at New Labour. (btw doesn't this non-story show you how low things have sunk here: it's OK for the main political parties here to pursue a race to the bottom in promising harsher and harsher immigration policies, but posters which might, at a ridiculous stretch, be conceived of as anti-semitic are objects of abhorrence. Representation and politesse - they're serious. Things which affect people's lives: well, who cares?)
