Wake up on a Saturday morning, turn on the news, hear one more - TopicsExpress



          

Wake up on a Saturday morning, turn on the news, hear one more anti-migrant rant. I am a migrant; been here 20 years. I am what some call a ‘good’ migrant: born in Canada, white, native language English, Anglo-background (my great grandparents from Scotland and Ireland), worked hard, now retired. There are millions of migrants in this country, people like me who were NOT born in Bristol or York or Nottingham. And some of us are getting fed-up, no downright angry and disgusted, with the relentless attacks on migrants --- whether from Warsaw or Lagos or Lahore ---- spewing forth from Cameron/Clegg/Miliband/Farage. Are there no limits to their racism and xenophobia, their self-satisfied smugness and their yearning for the days of yesteryear when Britannia ruled the waves?
