Conway twitty

Well obviously I suppose I should read the report in full, but the way the Civitas report from David Conway has been reported in the Sunday Express is riddled with self contradictions.  If you cite as being particularly pertinent the fact that the July 7th bombers were all second generation immigrants, ie are the product of an immigration inflow dating back 30 years, then why is it suddenly so much more worrying that we have a 42% increase in net immigration last year (which in itself strikes me as a suspect figure, as the UK had net inward migration until recently, so 42% might just represent the fact that there were 100 extra immigrants over emigrants last year, and 142 this year) and the Labour government since 1997 is somehow to blame for it all?

Hear the 'discussion' between Philippe Legrain and David Conway on the Today programme for more of a flavour of the particular axes that David Conway has to grind ("they bring AIDS, TB and marry their cousins!!).  And this gives some clues - there seems to a Christian fundamentalist axe being waved too, plus he's a senior research fellow of religious studies at Roehampton University (formerly World of Carpets) and writes for the Tablet. Nuff said.
