Rowan Williams confirms that he is completely out of touch with the common man with this condescending aphorism wafting serenely to the plebs from the hallowed halls of Lambeth Palace:
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, risked conflict with the new Government when he criticised opponents of immigration. He also challenged the view of his predecessor that migration “threatens” British identity.
Dr Williams said that those who feared new arrivals showed “confusion” and a “lack of proper confidence” in society’s ability to learn.
I think I prefer RW’s perspective to that of some politicians in Arizona.
Actually living in Arizona might influence one’s perspective somewhat. Although, interestingly, recent polls show those in favour of the legislation country wide sits at over 70%.
I suspect there are other “interesting” initiatives that would garner a 70+ percent approval rating in the US.
The financial situation in Great Britian is disasterous. The nation is sinking deeper and deeper into debt by 100’s of billions of Pounds a year. A rate that is literally millions of Pounds every hour! I saw a report on TV the other night showing immigrants from Easter Europe living in tents on the outskirts of major British cities. With over 60 million people already living in England they are already in a situation where they simply CANNOT grow enough food to feed themselves, and must import a huge percentage of the energy they use. I could go on but hopefully you get the picture. Great Britain simply cannot support any more people. Anyone familiar with Thomas Robert Malthus?
