SIR, I bet UKIP members in Worcester were hopping mad at Richard Udall's letter, "UKIP's politics of divide and rule" (January 7). To me it looked like one of those stock letters from Labour's "Letters are us" department. Take out the first paragraph and it becomes Labour's usual anti-UKIP diatribe.
If Councillor Udall wants to make headway in Labour's election campaign he's going to have to do better. In my lifetime around 20 million foreigners have come here. Our population is around 70 million. Our farms can feed less than 35 million. How many more millions are our politicians going to cram into our country, when it's patently obvious our country's full up? Why should our jobs be given to foreigners, when it costs us taxpayers around £100 billion a year to pay the living costs of our unemployed and those on "low wages", especially when our nation is bankrupt? And why should our NHS be treating an additional 5,000 foreigners every year, who are diagnosed with HIV, when their treatment adds another £100 million every year to the costs of running our NHS?
Our politicians refuse to answer those sorts of questions. That's why UKIP's "People's Army" is growing. All Councillor Udall has done is add more recruits.
