"Any meaningful description of which arguments and debates are legitimate in a democracy depends on rejecting arguments rooted in violence, xenophobia and racial prejudice. But how often... is anything said about what needs to be excluded as illegitimate too?"

From Victorian mills to the NHS, the UK has never been self-sufficient. Immigration keeps the country running.

The Bear calls out the denial on all political sides.

These hotel residents have risked their lives for the security of British soldiers. Families, men, women, children.They are not asylum seekers.

These protesters are either ignorant or don't care.
