    Is it meant to be a serious question?

    It's hard to take the stance seriously when you sound so hypocritical by holding it.

    "How dare these immigrants come over here and deplete our culture with their foreign ways! <grr>
    Those other immigrants, of course. Not me."

    I find it a fairly odd question, as the UK has so much of a mixture to it in the first place.
    Who counts? Germans, Scandinavians, Celts, the French, the Italians?
    How do you intend to police this and the culture as a whole? It's all a bit... foreign.

    I just want to know what your perspectives are, if you don't want to answer I don't care.

    My perspective is that it's a much more complex question than the one you ask.

    It's a fairly innocuous question in my opinion, as I said above, I'm just trying to get a scope for what those that are in favour of mass immigration think.

    I don't think anyone has said they're in favour of mass immigration though.

    None of you have to say it for it to be the common sentiment. Can you not just answer it?

    Well what infrastructure will be in place, will they be in the areas with most capacity, will they be skilled or not, young or old, rich or poor?

    I want to give them the benefit of the doubt for now but I fear this is true.

    I'm not sure what the question's supposed to mean.
    Do you want a limit on the number of immigrants in the country as a whole? If it hits 2m, then you stop?
    Are you suggesting a limit per year or a net limit per year?
    It's just a vague White Doom thing, as far as I can see.
    Why don't you answer it then, Pete?
