I hope he comes over positively. I am very concerned in general that muslims are being demonised, and our national attitude to immigrants hasn't moved on that much since the days of the empire.

The fact is, we are also bleeding emigrants to the US, Europe and Indochina. Not to mention the Antipodes.

Our hospitals certainly wouldn't run withought immigrant doctors, and I can tell you, many of them are looking forward to going home again. Our way of life really isn't superior to many of theirs at home.

I feel sorry for Ahmed, because he has landed in the Rocky Horror Show without the laughs.
