The Lord is My Light and My Salvation; Whom Shall I Fear But the Migrant?

Although God is deeply concerned about the private erotic doings of consenting adults, it appears that He is considerably more relaxed over the EU referendum. The Archbishop of Canterbury has pronounced that there is no correct Christian view on the matter, although it is perfectly Christian and correct to be terrified of migrants. There is genuine fear in fragile communities (and few communities these days are more fragile than the Church of England), and this fear must be addressed because it is caused by the migrant crisis and is not racist at all. In fact it would be outrageous, just absolutely outrageous, to call people racist merely because they attach to people of other races the blame for a crisis which is largely, if not entirely, the making of wealthy white capitalists like Justin Welby. Britain has an "extraordinary history, going back hundreds of years, of outward-looking, confident, often wonderful work around the world", and it is certainly not racist to be worried about some of the more inconvenient results.
