This is an excellent, must-read, article by leading Oxford economist, Simon Wren-Lewis. Check it out!

via mainly macro: UK immigration and social attitudes.

Wren-Lewis analyzes UK concerns with immigration. He suggests that whilst the concerns embrace all social classes, that the concerns are different depending upon the social class. For example, the lower social classes are most concerned about immigration’s impact on jobs for the indigenous population. Meanwhile, the higher classes are more concerned about immigration’s impact on social services.

On balance, there is some goof data and analysis.

This is an excellent, must-read op-ed article from the NYT. Check it out!

via Britain’s Fumble on Phrasing – NYTimes.com.

The article cites the facts that have been deliberately subordinated in much of the UK and Europe’s media, with the latter pandering to the influence of political Islam. The article demonizes Ed Miliband, leader of the UK’s Labour Party, and likely next UK Prime Minister (according to opinion polls). Milliband’s family are of Jewish origin. Perhaps, Milliband should remember that if he was around in Nazi Germany, he would have been wearing a yellow-arm band. Personally, I struggle with the hypocrisy of Miliband whom it seems would sooner support political Islam than speak against anti-Semitism.
