Pearl Harbour again!

"We lived in India. Now Indians live here. It's just history repeating itself." BBC Radio 4 "Today", yesterday.
In the early 1860s, while American had civil war, Britons in Japan were being killed. Unrepentant samurai were forced by the Japanese Government to commit hara-kiri.
Today on Radio 4 "Sunday" the Archbishop of York said killing was too weak a word to describe the murder of Jo Cox MP. It was "a day of infamy in our country", though immigration is a legitimate concern. "Concern" is a weak word, when it is obvious that immigration to the UK has ruined some people's lives.
"A day of infamy" was how President Roosevelt described the attack on Pearl Harbour. History repeating itself, indeed!
The Archbishop of York came to Britain because of persecution by Uganda's Idi Amin. As everybody knows, Idi Amin has long gone, but the Archbishop is still here. Everybody also knows that every day for many years there has been abuse of the asylum system. To dismiss this as "concern" is to downplay its negative impact on some Britons and to gloss over the problem which ordinary citizens look in vain to politicians to protect them from.
In 1991 I was sitting on a bench in a crowded shopping mall in Japan when I heard an American (Canadian?) voice say: "The English and the Japanese are so alike it is weird."
No one is forced to commit hara-kiri but the suicide rate among young men in the UK is notoriously high.
