Vince Cable's got a cheek

So Vince Cable reckons Cameron's speech on immgration today will bolster extremists.
Come again?
The real extremism re immigration is the 'political-correctness' fascism that is the political attitude that is the basis of the policies of mass immigration and the persistent turning of a blind eye to its obvious effects.
It is the contempt and hatred for the mass of ordinary people who have not bought the 'progressive project' that has led to the elevation as supposed disadvantaged sub-groups of, most notably, ethnic minorities / migrants (along with women, gays, trans-sexuals, etc).
This great political fraud and maliciousness dwarfs anything the EDL or BNP stand for.
 
The levels of immigration over the past few decades exceeds -- we now know through recent genetic research -- the influx of Saxons, Vikings and Normans.
It is laughable to try to make out that calling this mass immigration is any sort of exaggeration. And this is before you take into account the unknown number of illegals, that Professor Salt, using an invalid international comparison, reckons is (with dependents and non-workers) about a million. Two or three million, more like.
And it is untrue, as Cameron claims, that there is no impact on employment. A Home Office study showed that for every 1% increase in the number of migrants, there is a 0.2% increase in non-migrant unemployment. Furthermore, George Borjas showed there is also a 0.3 to 0.4% fall in wages.
