I confess, dear reader, that I do not know David McWilliams at all. He goes on:More people demand more services and each new citizen multiplies the pressure on already strained systems. The only thing that has changed is that David McWilliams now feels safe enough to acknowledge those facts in public. That clearly does not apply to public services: As the Government provides more services, more people will be attracted here to use them, so long as the services are relatively better than those in their home countries. It might be a few more years before he feels safe enough to say the next bit out loud.
