In this day and age, it is sad to say that this country is broken and debt ridden. The people of this once great nation are disillusioned and annoyed.

We cannot help our own old age pensioners. Our troops have insufficient resources and supplies and we are talking about reducing their numbers even further. Every public service including police, fire service and ambulance staff at under threat and budgets are being cut every where.

Our country has the worst underage pregnancy rate in Europe and we give people houses and flats for their efforts, while married people on the housing waiting list go without.

We have orphans in this country who need adoption and charities are encouraging people to adopt from abroad. I even watched one programme last week in which one council stated they were not allowing white couples to adopt at the moment.

What difference does colour make when they are going into a loving family atmosphere?

We have homeless families here, yet homes and benefits are given to immigrants and asylum seekers. Surely we should be looking after our own first?

Why don’t we adopt the immigration laws of other countries. For example, look at these: l There will be no special bilingual programmes in the schools.

l All ballots will be in this nation’s language.

l All government business will be conducted in the country’s language.

l Non-residents will not have the right to vote no matter how long they are here.

l Non-citizens will never be able to hold political office.

l Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care, or other government assistance programmes. Any person being a burden will be deported.

l Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount at least equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.

l Foreigners may have no protests; no demonstrations, no waving of a foreign flags, no political organisations, no bad-mouthing our head of state or his policies. Breach of this will lead to imprisonment and deportation.

l If you do come to this country illegally, you will be actively hunted and when caught, sent to jail until your deportation can be arranged and all of your assets will be taken from you.

These are the existing laws from some Arabic nations and are strictly adhered to.

In the last few months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, and Turkey, Greece, Pakistan and now we are talking about bailing out Ireland when we owe billions ourselves.

Our pensioners are living on a ‘fixed income’ and they receive no aid or get any breaks while our government, charities and religious organisations pour hundreds of millions of pounds and tons of food into foreign countries.

In the UK we have homeless without shelter, children and adults going to bed hungry and cold, elderly going without ‘needed' medication and heating, mentally ill patients without treatment and cancer sufferers who are refused life saving treatment because of the postcode lottery.

Just imagine if our Government gave its own citizens the same support and opportunities that they give to other countries. What a great place this would be!

I hope things change soon, or the civil unrest will escalate.
