Most societies, even liberal ones, do find it difficult to<br />

accommodate newcomers when they come in large<br />

numbers over a short time, especially when economies<br />

are growing slowly or not at all. That is why it is reasonable<br />

to set limits on immigration, and also ask immigrants<br />

to accommodate to the laws, and partly to the<br />

cultures, of the countries they come to. Yet, if societies<br />

are to hold together, all their citizens, regardless of colour<br />

or religion, need to share some common values and<br />

a sense of nationality.<br />

The other si<strong>de</strong> of this coin is that politicians should<br />

point out that immigration is the life-blood of most na-<br />

tions. It brings enterprise, energy and variety to society<br />

and has for many centuries been the rule, not the exception.<br />

Few nations, least of all in Europe, are ethnically<br />

pure. Most have benefited hugely from immigrants.<br />

Successful societies do not stand still; they need to be<br />

refreshed and revitalised. Similarly, all cultures, however<br />

admirable, need to adapt and <strong>de</strong>velop. It is in the mixing<br />

of cultures, not in their preservation from change,<br />

that nations remain interesting and successful.<br />
