Immigration: who ya gonna call?

David Cameron's plan to turn Britain into a slightly larger version of Royston Vasey continues apace with the news that he proposes to cap immigration, and station angry locals on the white cliffs of Dover to dissuade any of dem forrun people from besmirching England's green and pleasant land with their funny talk and weird food.

Immigration Minister Liam Byrne appears unimpressed at the news, pointing out that eighty percent of intake were European Economic Area nationals, students and dependents rather than evil looking blokes who spend their time milking dry the benefit system and trying to get young children to help them find their puppies.

Still, it looks like immigration is back on the agenda again with the news that the British population will hit 71m by 2031 (up from around 60m now). It could be a nice little vote-winner too, and as the Boy David positions himself as the Local Candidate for Local People it looks like a new theme of Englishness is being woven into the political narrative.

Good news?
