Our country cannot cope with so much change

As a victim of racism myself, I am certainly against all forms of it, but the alternative is not to keep quiet and stick one’s head in the sand.

In normal circumstances, I would have sympathy with Steve Rush’s call to support an independent candidate at the next General Election.

But times are not normal, Steve, as the latest immigration figure shows.

Nearly 300,000 extra people, in just one year alone, have to be housed etc.

So, under people’s movement here, especially over the last 15 years, our once “Green and pleasant land” will be turned into one large residential plot and I thought you were against that, Steve?

No, our country cannot cope with so much change, so I will be voting for UKIP.
