SIR – Whilst people with a right wing persuasion constantly harp on about immigration there is one group of people they conveniently overlook.
From Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to Chancellor George Osborne the Tories have been selling off our family silver.
The Government has just sold off our stake in cross channel rail giant Eurostar to a Canadian led Consortium.
The vast majority of our railways are now being run from France, Germany and the Netherlands where they plough their profits into making their own countries’ transport systems better.
Most of our car industry is owned by overseas companies, this also applies to our water companies and our football clubs.
Immigration is a class issue which is used to scapegoat migrants for the economic failures of our own governments. They speak in terms of statistics and have no compassion for human beings.
This Government does not care about the refugees fleeing poverty from war torn countries in unsafe boats, thousands of them dying at sea, as a result of western imperialism, but if you are wealthy and want to buy our industry it is no problem.
