But what I am trying - unsuccessfully it would seem - to say, is that those instincts have always been there and humans have always formed up in gangs for strength.
There has always been the strong overcoming the weak syndrome and even if we are supposed to be humane creatures humanity seldom comes into play these days and never did.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with nationality as the human condition crosses all national boundaries and appears anywhere it needs to.
I WILL agree that where people are crushed together we are bound to get ghettoism and the gathering together of specific cultures and races as a form of protectionism. This syndrome is not specific to England as we see it in Scotland Ireland and Wales too even if it happens in smaller scales in these less-populous countries.
I think that all of the political parties now agree that immigration in Britain has reached a hiatus and all of these parties are now saying that controls need to be put in place.
Our greatest problem here is not Brown and Labour but it is the European Council, ( EC ), that introduced the "open borders" policy that allows all citizens of greater Europe to move freely across all borders.
