As for Kenya's President Jomo Kenyatta, Big Daddy boasted: "He is one of my best friends." Amin also paid curious tribute to Britain's Prime Minister Edward Heath, whom he described as "one of the best Prime Ministers. He is like Hitler, really tough. I admire him." As newsmen laughed, Big Daddy corrected himself, "I mean like Churchill...

Thus the rules will reduce to an "inescapable minimum"-specifically, 3,000 people per year-any further emigration of British passport holders from so-called "new Commonwealth" nations, all of which have black or Asian majorities, and a total of about 241,000 such passport holders...
