“MASS immigration is good for Britain, for one thing it improves the level of intelligence.”
This crass and insensitive statement recently by Lord Kerr in response to the outcome of the EU referendum is a disgrace.
Should we be surprised, for it is the perfect insight into mindset of the liberal establishment elite?
Democracy to them is an inconvenience, the opinions of ordinary people considered suitable only for the waste bin.
You may well ask who is he to make such insulting comments of the indigenous population.
He is of the retired high-ranking careerist civil servant ilk, a fanatical Europhile. His career was spent within opulent political chambers in the capitals of Europe.
That is why Lord Kerr I take more notice of the heavyweight vote of over 17 million people, who decided enough was enough of the corrupt European Union, compared to the views held by hundreds of lightweight lordships like yourself.
