Lest some may think otherwise let me be perfectly clear....as a Grand Father of a 4 year old girl I'm in total shock and disgust at what happened in Southport and the events following it make me sick to the stomach and am ashamed at times to call myself British.
Unfortunately a certain section of the community are acting like animals and deserve whatever punishment is given to them by the Courts who can only give them maximum custodial sentences as directed by the judiciary who have their hands tied by archaic laws totally unfit for the modern age.
For me whoever creates havoc on our streets; attacks the police and insights racial hatred should be locked up and the keys thrown away. There is no place in a civilized society for thugs and their leaders who seek to disrupt our way of life for their own warped ideals.
As for racism I totally reject any forms of discrimination irrespective of colour or creed but we do have an on going problem with illegal immigrants that does need urgent attention.....but as to how we rectify such an increasing problem is beyond me.....
.
The Tories tried to resolve it with the defunct Ruwanda scheme....whilst the current Government prefer to tackle the problem at source by prosecuting the gangs who organize the illegal boat crossings that cost lives..but what do these gangs care. They are making fortunes out of those wishing for a better life and to them lives are cheap.
Whether such action will resolve the problem is open to debate....but something needs to be done and quickly otherwise those who seek to change our way of life by thuggery and violence will spread like cancer throughout our country resulting in loss of life at all ages and every section of society.
