    Immigration is benefiting the UK so no, there is no reason to be “concerned”. I accept that there may be very specific situations for certain groups, but it is still benefiting the public as a whole.

    Unless someone “concerned about immigration” is also concerned about too many white babies being born, they are a racist.

      Oh I do agree immigration on the whole is a benefit to the UK, yes. Of course, I mean you only have to look around and see what immigrants are doing to help our public services for a start.

      However I don’t agree that having concerns equates to being a racist. That’s a rather large leap that I don’t think is fair. You should be allowed to question policies and express concerns without being shouted down as a racist. Of course, you don’t have to be right in your concerns. And I’m sure a lot of these concerns are baseless. But shouldn’t we be able to explain and discuss that with people without jumping to extremes?
