TORIES - Hang your heads in shame!

Every ’political commentator’ of which there is an abundance, has an opinion on immigration and they endlessly echo each other. The public are sick of hearing their opinions, they just want action.

I quote a TV Presenter (they all think they are terribly important) “the illegal boat crossings are a drop in the ocean when it comes to numbers”. I hope there was no pun intended.

Yes, illegal immigration numbers are smaller, but focus has to be on the word illegal, they have entered or been ushered into this country without identification or visa. We are seeing record numbers of young fighting age men arriving here looking forward to being taken into the bosom of this country, we have no idea who they are or where they are from. We see very few women and children, they have been left behind to fend for themselves, says a lot about the mental and moral qualities distinctive to these individuals.

Why does this government open its arms and welcome them all like long-lost relatives giving them every possible comfort at the expense of our young families, veterans and those of all ages, down on their luck? It is deplorable.

We can deal with these interlopers, the UK Independence Party would have no truck with these people arriving in dinghies or boats, intercepted in the Channel by the RNLI or discovered in the back of commercial vehicles. As a national of their native country like any other traveller abroad they can be returned home voluntarily or not.

It is argued that we need legal immigration to run our national health service, to build our infrastructure and care for our ageing population. What a disgrace! Let’s just kick the can down the road again, shall we? Has no one thought that these immigrants will age and will require care and pensions in the future? The problem will multiply!

To try and show themselves in a good light the government has conveniently exempted itself from the £38,700 skilled worker visa minimum salary threshold for care workers. Health and care workers will still be able to earn less before applying for a visa.

Let’s hope the new changes to the Student Visa Regulations are watertight!

Why is there no Government Data Base for those asylum seekers already here? This is more shocking evidence of sloppy governance. Who knows how many are living here the answer is nobody knows.

The government is boasting they are settling more asylum claims but this is creating another problem, once refugee status has been granted, ‘section 4’ support stops 28 days after the decision. The Home Office do not provide accommodation to refugees so more pressure on local authorities and as we have seen, an increase in tent cities. What a shambles!

Lack of control and considered management of immigration has brought misery and despair to the World. This government and others should hang their heads in shame.

The Father of BREXIT Dies

by Stuart Gulleford • 11 September 2024

Jeffrey Titford 24.10.1933 – 09.09.2024 Jeffrey Titford, the former Leader of the UK Independence Party and two term MEP for the East of England, has passed away, after suffering from cancer. His family announced his death on 10 th September, aged 90. Jeffrey was one of the fathers of Brexit, coming to the fore in national and international politics at a time when leaving the EU was considered unthinkable and long before it became official Conservative Party policy. A visionary and a democrat, who did not believe that EU membership provided a viable future for Britain as an independent, self-governing nation, Jeffrey Titford was elected to the European Parliament at the 1999 European Parliamentary Elections, aged 63. He was one of three UK Independence Party MEPs elected, which sent shock waves through the political world. He became Leader of the Party in 2000 and served for three years bringing stability and respectability to its campaigns. During this period, he made seventy speeches a year, travelling all over the country. He also served as interim Leader from September to November 2010, following the resignation of Lord Pearson of Rannoch, while the election of a new Leader was held. During his time in the European Parliament, he made dozens of speeches in Plenary session severely criticising the EU and particularly the level of fraud in its finances. He also extensively lobbied the European Commission and the Government in Westminster on behalf of the British fishing and farming industries. He led several delegations of fishermen to see UK Agriculture Ministers in Westminster and also took a delegation to meet the European Commissioner for Fishing in Brussels. He wrote monthly columns for the East Anglian Daily Times, the Hertfordshire Mercury and Farmers Guide and made many appearances on regional television. He also made a guest appearance on Breakfast with Frost. Jeffrey Titford’s political career began in 1970, when he became a Councillor on the Clacton Urban District Council. He ended his association with the Conservative Party in 1992, in protest over Prime Minister John Major’s signing of the Maastricht Treaty. He joined Sir James Goldsmith’s Referendum Party and, in a sign of things to come, stood in the General Election of 1997 in Harwich when he was the Party’s most successful candidate, securing almost 10 per cent of the vote and, in the process, unseating the sitting Member of Parliament. Following the death of Sir James Goldsmith, Jeffrey was invited to join the UK Independence Party (UKIP), where he established a branch in Clacton and a regional committee, which led to his successful campaign in the European Elections in 1999. He paved the way for Nigel Farage’s subsequent success in Clacton at the 2024 General Election. He was re-elected to the European Parliament in 2004, with a greatly increased share of the vote and UKIP also returned a second MEP. He retired from European Politics in 2009 and was made an Honorary Patron of the Party in 2006 and became President for Life in 2011. Life before politics Following National Service in the RAF, Jeffrey joined the family’s funeral directing business in 1956, where he had a 35 year career, during which he served for 12 years on the National Association of Funeral Director’s (NAFD) National Executive and rose to National President in 1975-76. He was instrumental in developing an official code of practice for the funeral profession, at the request of the Office of Fair Trading. He also successfully campaigned for funeral directors to have the right to sell a package funeral and carried out the first review of the practice manual for funeral directing, which led to the creation of a formal qualification for funeral directors, recognised by the NAFD. He sold the company in February 1989 and retired from the profession. An enthusiastic Rotarian, Jeffrey served as President of the Clacton and later Frinton Rotary Clubs. He also belonged to the Clacton Operatic and Clacton Dramatic Societies, taking lead roles in both companies. However, his most successful hobby was rally driving. He was a leading light in the Clacton Motor Club in the early seventies for whom he was the regional rally champion for six consecutive years. Jeffrey Titford was a devoted family man and is survived by his wife Margaret, one son, three daughters, eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
