TO DR Smith.

You bring up Cyprus and Kenya and the so-called atrocities committed by the British. We were fighting terrorists at the time.

The Mau Mau were especially vicious and loved torturing and cutting people to pieces.

Cyprus is still divided in half today and not because of us. We only paid compensation because of weak-knee'd politicians. I would have told them to get lost.

As for the so-called desperate refugees from Syria, it’s so dangerous there that they leave the women behind to face it.

Tell me again how many safe countries they passed through to get here. They are leaving Turkey on their boats so they were safe.

You mention a TV programme telling the benefits of immigrants compared to Brits. I wouldn’t trust TV to tell the truth in anything these days, they do as they’re told by the Government.

You say compassion costs nothing but your wrong. There is always a cost whether monetary or socially.

These people get here and do not mix. Then they want their own laws, schools etc.
