On their watch
Sir: Mark Penn's observation that 'radicalisation of illegal migrants could determine the outcome of the next US election' (Tips for Gordon', 22 September) could be equally relevant over here. At least one in three of the 600,000 legal migrants who have entered the UK on the watch of this government have indicated that they would like to stay, and the psephological evidence is clear that the existing, settled ethnic minorities overwhelmingly vote either Lib Dem or Labour. The recent Southall by-election was surely testament to the failure of the Conservative party to make progress in such constituencies. Is Labour's policy of mass immigration a covert attempt at political gerrymandering on an unprecedented scale?
