Peter Hitchens, Who and what do you think Gordon Brown had in mind when at the TUC conference this week he proposed to make it harder for migrants to come and work in Britain by requesting a better knowledge of English, a measure not targetting EU citizens?

I think he had the opinion polls in mind, and the need to appear to be
doing something about levels of immigration many Labour voters find
worrying. Since EU citizens, and future EU citizens are the main
component of our present and expected immigration, such pledges have little
meaning.
