When have I ever suggested we should be subjected to mass immigration? What I have said is that we don't really have any, and that the term is misused.

Your persistent desire to divide people by the colour of their skin is really pretty distasteful.

I would much, much rather have some new arrivals come and live here, who are decent and hard-working, than anyone with your attitude, whatever their skin colour.

In fact, I am in the process of letting one of my flats to someone exactly like that. It would have been a pleasure to refuse you, after an interview.

Amen to that!

It is then such a pity that so many on the right aren't.

You have only to look at the events at the Capitol in January, and the behaviour of the Trump supporters both then, and in trying to make false claims about the election to know that. Not a lot of honesty or peace involved there.

Look at Orban, his dishonest regime and the violent way he deals with opponents.

Look further back into political history, and it's littered with violent right wing dictators. Yes, the left too sometimes, but generally in a response to oppression.

No, but I don't need to. They are from Poland. Don't speak Polish either, but as they are proudly learning English it's not a problem.

I attended a citizenship ceremony yesterday in which a number of new citizens swore allegiance to the Crown and received a welcome from the Queen's representative, the Lord Lieutenant.

It was quite moving to see the emotion and genuine pride in their achievement. Good people who will work hard to serve their adopted country and hugely grateful for the opportunity.

If you bothered to actually read what I write, I have often said that there should be no use of skin colour as a descriptive, by anyone. I don't do it. I would prefer the campaign to be "All lives matter".

Others do though. They don't, though, do it in the way you do.

They come at it with a plea for equality and fairness. You come at it from a position of superiority and entitlement.

They seek to heal. You seek to divide.

Everyone in Cornwall, bar a tiny handful, loves the tourists. Much of the economy depends on them. For 45 weeks of the year we have the place largely to ourselves and whilst those 7 weeks can become tricky in the busiest places, we just avoid them. I know beaches where we can be alone all year round, and walks we can do, in splendid countryside where we see no-one else.

If you wouldn't enjoy that, then I fear you are the hypocrite.

I didn't use a derogatory term for tourists, you did.

I'd like you to tell us all who I want to divide?

It is a ridiculous bit of reductionism on your part. There are many reasons why mass immigration has been a disaster for this country. You banging on with the same old tropes won't alter that fact.

Only those who insist on being identified by their skin colour or religion wish to divide. I do neither. I observe the realities of 21st century Britain which you appear to be in denial about.
