Totally illogical. We needed immigration because of a catalogue of short termism by successive governments. Of course we have a terrorist problem and of course it is a direct result of immigration.

It's difficult to say how many countries have experienced attacks due to someone influenced by their Islamic beliefs, but I've shown that it's higher than 40.

Each country follows its own path but the idea that not having high immigration into the UK would have been disastrous is a very subjective interpretation. It completely depends upon your personal set of priorities and politics. I don't call for a immigration policy the same as Japan because that cat was let out of the bag a long time ago. However I totally disagree that Japan....a country richer than us is somehow gripped in some kind of disaster because it hasn't destroyed its own sense of national identity. Japan, as a nation has looked at what its allies have done to themselves and returned a big, 'no thanks'. Cohesion matters.
