I note that a Parliamentary committee has just stated that this country is in danger of being overrun by the numbers of so-called asylum seekers being allowed unrestricted entry and that, if it continues unabated, it is likely to cause serious social unrest.

If it wasn't so serious, it would be amusing. Anyone who studies what is happening in Britain and has a modicum of intelligence, could have told the politicians this years ago.

Indeed, many did and were immediately labelled as racists, Nazis or alarmists.

Unfortunately, this Government has refused to believe what is happening and is quite happy, to use an old phrase, to keep on shifting the deck chairs about while the ship sinks.

How much success will the extremists have to obtain at local and national level before the truth is accepted by the politicians?

I don't hold out much hope of any serious remedial action. This Government has become expert at creating catastrophes out of crises in just about everything it touches.
