Sajid Javid was on Question Time yesterday and gave easily one of the most confident and assured defences of the government’s immigration policy to date. In response to a question about British identity and the increasing popularity of the name ‘Mohammad’, Javid rebutted the notion that a name has anything to do with patriotism:
‘I think it’s pretty silly to suggest that someone’s name has some kind of bearing on their love for our country. I’m called Sajid. I’m fiercely patriotic about our country, I think it’s the greatest country on earth. And so name has nothing to do it.’
