i'd agree entirely about Cameron - he boxed himself into an entirely predictable corner by jumping so whole-heartedly on the anti-immigration bandwagon, and now any change to that looks like a major u-turn brought about by political incompetance. he's tried - and possibly succeeded - to dig himself out of that hole by agreeing to take regugees direct from Syria, but he made a very serious miscalculation by not understanding that the electorate, for good or ill, see a very big difference between large numbers of black african men trying to get into holidaymakers cars at Calais, and families with kids who look like Brits on railway lines in Eastern Europe.
