“We’ve always looked beyond the walls for the invaders,’ he said. ‘We always thought change came from outside, usually on the point of a sword. And then we look around and find that it comes from the inside of the head of someone you wouldn’t notice in the street.

Listening to #r4today on the wireless this morning, I learn of a new Tory faction - the #NewConservatives - who among other things wish to slash immigration by raising the minimum salary for a #SkilledWorkerVisa to near 40k English Groats.
