Yes, it was a gaff in the way he said it, and he was rightly picked up.


But small gaff did not get in the way of the important principle he was making about the potential consequences of uncontrolled, poorly vetted immigration. He was spot on.


And focusing on a slip, rather than the important principle, seems crazy to me.

In fact, rather as it did with UKIP, all the media attacks served to make them more popular.

Agreed.
