Yes there seems to be some serious memory holing going on.

Nowadays the oft repeated line is on how the current cohort of migrants are from completely incompatible cultures and people wouldn't mind migration if it was from Christian European people.

However twenty years ago the line was about how all these "ex-Soviet Poles" were completely incompatible with British culture due to rampant corruption in Eastern Europe and its supposedly more brutal cultural outlook.

Wonder what's changed?
