We need a new deal to slow immigration

I wonder if the EU referendum had been won by the Remain campaign if the reaction to the result would have been the same as it is now. Ashford MP Damian Green commented that his inbox was full of emails demanding another referendum, but Ashford voted overwhelmingly in favour of leaving the EU as did Kent as well as the rest of the UK so doesn’t that mean that the democratic view of the people won! I still find it hard to believe that nationally 48% plus voted in favour of staying inside a corrupt and failed EU where we were bombarded with ridiculous rules and regulations, industries ruined and where we can’t even deport convicted murderers and rapists because our justice system is continually overruled by Brussels. And then there’s mass immigration into the country... how on earth can a country of our size cope with these social consequences? It’s a nightmare and we are now paying the price of our politicians blind stupidity over the past 10 years or so of uncontrolled immigration. We are all aware that we need immigration but we have to control the level so that our public services can absorb the intake and are not buried under the weight of numbers which are currently unrelenting. Let’s hope that whoever takes over as our new prime minister will have the guile and confidence to negotiate a deal with the EU that properly reflects the democratic view of the majority who voted to leave and take back control of our country.

Whilst driving back to Ashford on the M20 last Wednesday, surrounded by foreign lorries, one good thing from Brexit occurred to me. As we hear that the EU market will no longer want to trade with us we will also no longer be inundated with all these foreign lorries, and will not need to build the lorry park at Stanford, or suffer Operation Stack on the M20.
