The unknowable question is what the people think. Really think. You'd assume there'd be great untapped smoldering resentment at the takeover of Britain. (Lord knows, I have a smoldering resentment about it, and I'm American). But opinion polls and elections don't seem to show it.

One of the most amazing political acts I've ever seen was when, before the last general election, all the candidates signed a pact that they wouldn't mention immigration. Say what? I mean, why would you need a pact unless you believed the issue would be a tremendous vote-getter for whoever brought it up. This is tantamount to saying, "here we have an issue that our people care about very much, so it would be wrong to address it."

The elites know best, don't they? The view must be much clearer from the heights of the social heap.
