BEFORE we cut the housing benefit of our young, we should first take out all non-UK citizens — asylum seekers, illegal immigrants and anyone who is not part of our society.

This is not racism or social cleansing or any other liberal claptrap. It is pure economic fact. We have no money and hence cannot be the bread basket of the world. In this case, charity really does begin at home as we are asking the working population of the UK to support the less privileged British citizens, who are either lower paid or unemployed.

This does not extend to anyone not of these shores.

If any of our local MPs want to stand on a stage and say they support this, then I will vote for that person, but all I hear (or don’t) is anyone prepared to say this in fear of being branded a racist or draconian. Well, hard time’s take hard measure.
