Neil Woodford, Martin, is the nearest we shall come to producing a Warren Buffett of our own. For years whatever he touched turned to gold, or seemed to.

But I got on to immigration as a subject we could decide about on our own once out of EU. And I mentioned the former colonies which I did as they were mainly the ones to which people from the British Isles had gone to settle and then colonise, either voluntarily or with varying degrees of compulsion.

And I see today's Times mentioned that 2m immigrants now work here, as does The Daily Mail. Oddly, the Daily Express puts the figure at 3m... who to believe? Either way it's a lot.
