| Discussing the papers for the BBC's News Channel, Jeremy Cliffe, political correspondent at the Economist, said he was "getting pretty tired of the fear-mongering" about immigration in recent weeks, "both from ministers and in some of the headlines". | |
| "Very, very rarely does anyone even so much as suggest that a Romanian or Bulgarian immigrant coming to Britain would be a good thing, and yet countless academic studies tell of the cultural, and more to the point, economic benefits they bring with them," he said. | |
| But Craig Woodhouse, political correspondent at the Sun, said people were "genuinely worried" about the issue and wanted to talk about it, but weren't sure how to. | |
| And he added: "There's a very fine line to be trodden here between, 'Is it racist to worry about this? Can we talk about this?'" |
