I think Hunt suggested the same thing.
DVT: I don't fundamentally disagree with you. We do need to control immigration, although the service industry around here would be in a pretty dire state without EU workers. But I do feel the campaign played on fear far too much - in both directions. What wasn't given sufficient coverage was the risk to the UK - which now stands a better than evens chance of disintegrating and at least of losing Scotland - but another aspect which is, to my mind, anyway, important.
We're a wealthy and powerful economy. We're always being told we're the fifth largest economy in the world, we already have the tools to control immigration as I've shown before, and it seems to me that if we're that wealthy and that powerful (so the Leave campaign keep telling us) not only do we have nothing to fear from immigration but we do, in fact, have a degree of responsibility to help out the dispossessed of other countries. Despite what the DFM would have us believe, I don't really believe the vast majority of those risking their lives to get to Europe did so simply because they fancied a holiday.
Mass migrations of people throughout history have proved impossible to contain but perhaps our role should be one of exerting political and diplomatic pressure on the wealthy gulf states to take many of their fellow Arabs in, in addition to providing non-financial aid to those still in their own countries to allow them to remain. I realise this may not be a popular suggestion but we're not isolated from world events. We're part of them, and I seriously doubt leaving the EU will make any difference whatsoever to our migration levels and might, if the French wash their hands of the Calais camps, actually aggravate the situation.
