There was a very interesting article by Matthew Syed in the Sunday Times earlier this month. He’s the son of a Pakistani immigrant and a Labour supporter, but the gist of his piece was that the levels of immigration into the UK now are hollowing out national identity and creating problems that will become irreversible. Syed argued that it’s not anti immigrant to be worried about the scale of immigration and acknowledged that many who come to the UK contribute positively to. He used the analogy of drinking water, that drinking a glass or two of water is healthy but drinking 100 glasses of water is life-threatening. What’s healthy in moderation is toxic at scale. Simply trying to accommodate the numbers now entering is creating the societal divisions being encouraged by the more extreme political elements. The solution he proposed is one that seems to have eluded all governments in recent years. Simply change the law to automatically deport anyone who enters the country illegally, and withdraw from the treaties now being abused by so many ‘asylum seekers’. The conversations with those in Calais waiting to cross the Channel bore out the effectiveness of this policy. None would spend £5,000 if they knew they would be sent back immediately. Brexit had a lot of downsides but self-determination on such policies might be one benefit that political leaders are somehow overlooking.
