Sir: Charles Moore claims that 'Britain is basically English-speaking, Christian

and white'. On this basis, he argues for a more racist immigration policy. Mr Moore is clearly English-speaking and white. He is articulate and intelligent. He is also inhu- mane, arrogant and prejudiced. What he is not is Christian. Failing on one of his own three standards, he should be detained the next time he attempts to re-enter this coun- try from abroad.
