(probably not actually because you just think "M'eh, it's the Maily Expess, it's bound to be BS") I thought they were "taking over"? 4 million vs 56 million is hardly a hostile takeover! I think the problem is is that national newspapers and their writers are based in London, and they probably think London's high number of immigrants is close to the norm, whereas I live in Cumbria, where immigrants are nowhere near as common. Also I imagine a lot of Express/Mail writers and readers see blacks and asian faces and just assume they're foreign, further fuelling both their siege mentality and the paranoia that WERE NOT BEEN TELLED TEH TROOF ABOUT FORRINORS!!!<br /><br />Second of all, I wonder how many of Spain's twice as high as the European average number of immigrants are British?<br /><br />Ooh, one more thing I've noticed... The Express have turned the comments section off for this article! Ashamed of what your readers think?Adairhttp://twitter.com/RPXAdairnoreply@blogger.com
