Immigration (again)

And so it goes, the “debate” around immigration continues and now even Tories are attacking the, um, Tories (and no I don’t mean rightwing Labour either!).

“Mr Howard's proposal that parliament set an annual cap on the number of migrants allowed into the country each year, which would involve pulling out of the UN convention on refugees, was dismissed however by his former Home Office colleague.

Mr Wardle, who had invited himself to a Labour party press conference, said that "it almost defies belief that Mr Howard is standing before people and presenting this as a policy proposal". "It is the most half baked, incoherent package imaginable. It shows he is utterly unsuited for the position of prime minister."” Link
