I agree. The free movement of so many different peoples is one of the things which not only makes the British world what it is, but also makes it something of which we can be proud. Think of the countries which have not been subject to migration, either in or out... Tibet (although thankfully the Chinese have now brought things like medicine and wheels to the country), Bhutan, much of the Arab world... these places are culturally poorer for their ethnic stagnation: small-minded, insular, backwards. The British global outlook and tradition of tolerance, of which we should all be proud, is largely a result of the movements of people.
