One mumbling guy insisted the US had a total immigration ban for thirty years after the war. Rubbish.

Do you happen to know what the immigration policy of the USA was from the mid 1920's to the mid 1960's? I have heard some slightly differing reports but they do seem to range from it being a total ban to it being an extremely restrictive policy.

Whilst on the topic, did you know that there were no border controls whatsoever in thr UK before 1905? |

Interesting reading. Not a total ban - but certainly restrictive, not to Mexico particularly though. |

I can't think why Steve relegates such women to being 'filthy'. His 'special' type of reasoning might see them as all chavs coming from filthy dirty council estates.

Begin with duvet cover inside-out. Match (closed) corners of cover to duvet. Pull cover over duvet. Shake*. Done.
![]() * rattle & roll optional!

I wish you'd told me years ago! I often end up inside the duvet cover along with the duvet. Then completely blind put the corners together inside. It can be a struggle.

I dipped into the conversation with a caller who said that he respected people's right to have a belief he didn't respect the beliefs themselves of flying horse, talking ants etc. Shelagh got surly and accused him of using the arguments of a 16year old and that "he needed to do better than that". She was obviously stung by a very simple and pragmatic point of view because it pointed out the ridiculous of the actual beliefs religious people supposedly hold. At that point i switched channels as this was again Shelagh going on about her Catholicism about which I've no interest, only pity.

Don't care what the difference between an eidedown and a duvet is but I would love someone to come on air and explain how to get a duvet into the cover without laying on the floor and having a five minute wrestling match! I can cook and clean and all manner of household chores but changing the beds fills me with dread.

You need pegs (or bulldog clips) Spread the cover on the bed and push the duvet part way in. Take hold of the top left-hand corner of the duvet, and push it up into the matching corner of the cover. Hold in place with peg (on outside), Do the same with other three corners. Fasten cover. Pick up by bottom edge and give it a good shake until the duvet aligns with the cover. Remove pegs. Works for me.
![]() Will report back at some stage assuming I escape the clutches of the duvet!

Another little earner for LBC presumably. Explains the 'potentially 44m listeners' remark.
James O'Brien @mrjamesob 6h6 hours ago The first #MysteryHour of 2016 coming up at 12. It now features on British Airways in-flight entertainment so you could become world famous! |

Heard BA being mentioned but did not catch the context. You think JOB has had a peek on here and is taking the Michael by mentioning 44 million?

Iain Dale just tackled Katie Hopkins surprisingly robustly - she did not like it

![]() Iain wasn't discussing the subject that she was commenting on, so why bring her on? In fact, I struggle to see why her opinions are given so much credence. We all know she is just a professional controversialist who arguably doesn't believe all the stuff she spouts, so why do they media fall over themselves to air her views? Very odd indeed. |

Just heard the repeat of this interview. I'm increasingly impressed with Iain Dale. Hopkins' whole shtick relies on making inflammatory points until she get shouted at, then she can claim the moral high ground.
He handled her a good deal better than that, well done to him. |
