Apropos of JB's comments on the QT thing, I have to say that the continued disingenuousness of the entire political class on immigration makes me very angry.

Specifically this whole nonsense about a "points based" immigration system that everyone wants to make tougher than everyone else. 95% of immigrants to the UK don't have to qualify on points because they live in the EU and one of the things we have decided in the EU is that all citizens can work in all countries in the EU. You might not like that, you might disagree with that as a policy, but that the source of the vast majority of immigration into the UK and a points system simply won't make any difference whatsoever to it.

Grrrrr.
