Interesting programme on TV tonight about immigration. It was a type of "The Case For And Against", and was presented in a case for the prosecution/defence type way. Very interesting.

Anyway, the "prosecution" called a really good witness, by the name of Liddle or Little (can't remember as I'm tired). Anyway, he's a well known radio presenter, former Labour party researcher, documentary producer, something to do with the Spectator etc etc.

He said that there were now approximately 2 million Muslims in the UK. His point of concern was that whilst he embraced the mix of cultures we have in the UK, he was concerned with Muslims. The reason was, he said, that the Muslim society are becoming more of a seperate society within the overall society, and that was not good; in fact it caused a great deal of alienation.

Now, there are two points to make here: Firstly, with all the will in the world 2 million Muslims will not be stopped for questioning. Secondly, due to the Muslim community shutting out society as a whole (his view, not necessarily mine), it is vital that communication be kept open and that the police presence is very evident.

Just ny views, that's all.
