Letter to my MP

When I voted in favour of leaving the EU I was clear about my reasons.

1. I do not believe the UK should have decisions made on its behalf by an unelected body when many of those decisions seem to be instances of bureaucracy gone mad.
2. I do not feel it is right for the UK to part with vast sums of money which we hand to the EU.
3. Uncontrolled immigration is crippling the country and the NHS in particular. We are full up and good farm land is being destroyed to build housing.

My vote does not imply that I hold racist views. Indeed we do need many of the highly skilled people who do splendid work; many of whom took part in my recent hospital treatment. Conversely, there are plenty of “white” people who I feel we could do without. No, it is all the illegal immigrants and work-shy individuals* we need to discourage (and prevent) from coming here.

My wish for my country is that we stop being “politically correct” and we allow citizens to express views without fear of being branded as backward-looking, or worse. These day it seems that to hold views contrary to the masses is practically illegal. (*Dare I say “Scroungers”?)

Unfortunately, there are many incorrect facts posted on a daily basis on social media such as Facebook. Yet, it does seem to me that we have become a namby-pamby country – too afraid of upsetting people of faiths other than Christian. Do we really house recently-arrived foreigners in luxury hotels when our ex-servicemen struggle to survive?

Whilst I have little to add to the Brexit debate which has not been said already I do hope that you and like-minded MPs will strive to do the following:

1. Oppose the Brexit deal which will see us under EU control with no say in our own affairs and 39 million pounds poorer.
2. Avoid taking your eyes off the current trend to support all things Halal giving scant regard to animal welfare and the notion of the RSPCA – do something about it.
3. Remember the sacrifices made by servicemen in two world wars in order that our country could be free and a haven for right-minded people. Do not allow Brexit to do what two world wars did not.
4. Oppose the gradual introduction of Sharia law by stealth.
5. Do all you can to stop this country being a stupid place because we do not wish to offend the “snowflake” generation.

You will obviously be very busy at this important time. Were I eloquent enough, I should be happy to meet you and discuss the issues which concern ordinary folk such as myself. Failing that, I cling on to my hope that you share similar values to myself and, therefore, I am ably represented in Parliament.

Thank you for reading this.
