IN a recent letter, A Brownstone patronisingly reminds us of the benefits that immigration has brought to our country. Benefits I would say most of us acknowledge and appreciate. Sadly in my opinion people like A Brownstone are totally out of touch with the mood of the British people regarding immigration. It is not immigration as such that is causing concerns but the sheer excessive numbers the country is having to absorb and the unprecedented problems the excessive numbers are starting to cause. For example, some maternity wards, fact not fiction, up and down the country are overloaded because now one in four tots are being born to foreign mums, which is double the rate of ten years ago and in London the number is six in ten. Ukip's fault A Brownstone?
