| Immigration - Where's the Debate? a discussion with Dolan Cummings on Wednesday 10th March 2010 |
The political elite says hard-grafting immigrants put Britain's lazy workforce to shame, while their liberal critics would rather not discuss immigration at all because they fear the rise of racial tensions.Against this background, the British National Party claims it has the support of 'ordinary people'. What is common to questions of immigration is the absence of the actual public from the discussion. Rather than immigration being a straight forward economic matter of people's concern about competition for jobs, many fear that their whole way of life will be put under pressure or over-run by alien cultures. Dolan Cummings will be asking whether such anxieties may be overcome by a democratic and inclusive discussion on the relationship between our society and immigration. Wednesday, 10th March 2010, Start 7.15pm to 9pm The Open House Pub, Sringfield Road, East Sussex BN1 6BZ (map & directions) We ask for a £5 donation after each meetingSuggested Readings by Brighton Salon AssociatesDavid Goodhart - Did Immigration Transform Britain by accident?
