Ian Birrell's article on migrants in today's Guardian reveals he is a closet imperialist: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/28/britain-refusal-help-migrants-inhumanity?CMP=twt_gu
Only an unthinking imperialist would assume that the United Kingdom should attempt to solve all the world's problems.
What is wrong with the migrants staying in their own countries and fighting to build a better life there?
When France fell under German control in 1940 millions of people became subject to a vicious regime far more evil than anything in modern Africa or the Middle East. A few French people ran away, but most stayed where they were and resisted evil and fought (in whatever way they could) for better times. Presumably Ian Birrell is such an unthinking racist that he assume white French people can resist tyranny but black and brown people cannot.
