I've just heard Joan Ruddock, I believe, squirming whilst trying to dig Brown out of the hole he's just dug for his party and excusing their abject failure on immigration. Once again she made the claim that the last Tory government was responsible for removing exit controls when in fact they removed controls for EU citizens in 1994 and New Labour did likewise for all non-eu citizens in 1998. More cynical spin or just some rather convenient ignorance of some very basic but important facts?? I know what I think.....
