I'm a bit late blogging on this but Yougov had a very interesting poll on Woolas and Immigration
The first finding is that everyone agrees that Woolas had to go. Even 65% of Labour supporters wanted rid of him. The Labour backbenches really need to let this go.
Secondly I was really interested to see the responses on controlled immigration. The survey asked if people thought different occupations should be exempt from an immigration ban.
What was interesting was that only 21% thought there should be no exemptions. And this figure was pretty much the same amongst the well off (ABC1 21%) less well off (C2DE 22%), Young (18-24 24%), Older (60+ 18%), Tories (20%), Labour (20%), Lib Dems (15%). There's something reassuring that the number of people who don't like foreignes is so low and it's interesting to see that these people are mixed amongst every single part of society.
