UK PM Warned to Stop Going on About Immigration

Senior Tory MP Mark Field has warned David Cameron that ‘banging on’ about immigration could turn people ‘with black skin’ against the party.
Mr Field, an ally of Tory leadership hopeful Adam Afriyie, raised fears that Mr Cameron’s new focus on immigration could alienate ethnic minorities.
And he warned that the Prime Minister risked becoming Britain’s Mitt Romney – the failed US Republican presidential candidate whose defeat by Barack Obama last year was blamed on his being out of touch with America’s Hispanic community.
Mr Field, who is half-German, admitted that focusing on immigration ‘resonates’ with voters’ concerns.
