'YOU can't fit a pint into a gill glass' an old saying that for more than three decades inept government after government would have been wise to have taken on board while in the process of filling our country by allowing and encouraging mass immigration to our shores.

Now, as a result of, and despite politicians self-denial of the situation, the excessive numbers allowed are more than every beginning to cause problems for our hospitals, doctors, surgeries and schools with many classrooms bursting at the seams.

We are all aware that change is inevitable and should be for the better and not change that's forced upon you and ends up being responsible for having your heritage and identity gradually taken and your town made unrecognisable.

So take note Bolton councillors.
