I just want to add that Andy’s article on the UK government’s failures on immigration is terrific. It is echoed by one of today’s leaders from the staunch Daily Telegraph, which notes, “The Government is in shambles, too paralysed by terror of upsetting Muslim voters to do anything practical to protect the public.” I’m willing to give Tony Blair the benefit of the doubt that he genuinely wants to take practical steps to protect the public. The trouble is that the people who have to implement these things are, I think, a lot more paralyzed by their PC beliefs and fear of upsetting liberal elite “opinion formers” like the BBC than the Prime Minister.
