Farage is right

-

I’M in full agreement with Nigel Farage’s suggestion­s that Britain needs a points based immigratio­n system similar to Australia. A closer look at the Australian guidelines for entry reveals something that is clearly lacking in Britain.

It states that ‘Entering or remaining in Australia is a privilege, and it is expected that non- citizens are, and have been, law-abiding. Visa holders must also continue to satisfy the character requiremen­t.’

In the last year we have seen far too many examples of people being allowed entry to Britain without proper checks being done on their criminal past and they have ended up committing violent crimes, this is unacceptab­le and desperatel­y needs to be addressed.

Too many people coming to Britain from the EU see coming to Britain as a right, it needs to be seen more as a privilege. Well done Nigel.
