Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Apparently John Reid has now decided it's time to "tackle immigration" by setting limits based on the economic requirements of the country. He's also said that we should move away from the "daft, so-called politically correct notion that anybody who talks about immigration is somehow a racist".

Please be aware that the Home Secretary is not blowing a dog whistle here. Nor is he accepting a Conservative election manifesto plank. His proposed limits based on the economic value of applicants are not the same as the Conservative limits based on the economic value of the applicants.

But he is left wing, and lefties can't be racist. We can prove this with references to Stalin's colour blind policies.

The Conservatives have got a policy? I'd keep that to yourself, Dizzy. Everyone will want one.

Is he only saying this because Tony Blair is away?

Seems like everyone is a DPM these days. I think that Reid is thinking of starting his own party.
