REGARDING the riots in Burnley and Oldham, we have all seen this trouble coming for a long time -- so has the Government.

They are to blame, especially former Home Secretary Jack Straw.

We are not a multi cultural society -- because we don't want to be. We are not Europeans -- because we don't want to be.

Only the Government says we are, not the majority of the people.

This is only a small island and unless this government sends all illegal immigrants back immediately and stops all bogus asylum seekers from entering, then things will only go from bad to worse.

The blame belongs with the Government and local councils for being a soft touch.
