SIR – I read in the national press that we are currently spending some three hundred million pounds a year on prisoners in our jails who are not British citizens.

I think this shows what most people know – that we cannot control our borders. I bet the Australians are having a laugh. Let’s dump the human rights legislation, clear these prisoners out back to their own countries and lock up our own law breakers who are currently getting community orders and suspended jail terms.

This Labour government socially, morally and financially has led this country to the disastrous state we are now in.

My advice to young people with the revelant skills is to follow the bankers out and start a new life in another country.

John Croney,
Worcester.
