    We fear the arrival of immigrants that we have drawn here with the wealth we stole from them.

    The Labour party has, from the beginning, been made up of diverse factions; that's its beauty - asking it to become cohesive is like trying to find one shampoo that will care for the hair of everybody in Angelina Jolie's house.
