The best way, I think, of understanding how the special relationship works is to answer this question. When a visiting American actor comes here and makes nice noises about Britain, do you feel all warm, gooey and proud? I bet you do. Now think how it works the other way round.

Commenting, Sir Andrew Green, Chairman of Migrationwatch UK said, “Yet again the government have tried to bury the true picture in the middle of a 17 page statistical release but they cannot conceal the fact that immigration will have a massive impact on housing demand and therefore on our whole quality of life and our environment. It is time that the government faced up to the facts and brought immigration under control instead of seeking to camouflage the true position”.

The European Parliament has prohibited the use of the terms ”Miss” and ”Mrs” in case they upset female MEPs. According to a new ”Gender-Neutral Language” guidance, the politicians are required to address female members by their full name only.

It has also revealed that ‘’sportsmen” should be called ”athletes”, statesmen should be referred to as ”political leaders”, and terms like ‘’synthetic” or ”artificial” should be used in place of ”man-made”.

The guidance lists has also banned terms for describing professions, including fireman, airhostess, headmaster, policeman, salesman, manageress, cinema usherette and male nurse.
