So your protests to the contrary are now futile. Learn about branding: you have just gone and trashed that carefully nurtured reputation for tolerance and integration.

And you sound like an insufferable xenophobe. “We are tolerant people we welcome everyone to our small island”. Citizens of other EU member states are in Britain by right, and not because you are tolerant and welcome them.

British people do not live and work in Malta because Maltese people are tolerant and welcoming.

English racism is not colour-based. That’s why they the Poles most of all.

The nearest I got was Margaret Thatcher. The majority of non-white citizens in Britain now are there by right, the descendants of people who lived in the colonies. I cannot understand that in 2016 there are still people who nurture hate for people of different colour. I had thought that we had grown up.
