Laurence Fox is bravely putting his career on the line for his principles - Yorkshire Post Letters

I AM writing to salute the actor Laurence Fox for wanting to launching a political party to “reclaim” British values from politicians, who he says have “lost touch with the people”.

He is also standing up to the present trend of celebrities who have had spectacular careers and popularity despite their origins encouraging discontent among ethnic minorities.

At this time when freedom of speech appears to be a thing of the past it is very brave of Laurence to put his career on the line by speaking out, even though nothing he says can be deemed as racist.

This is a wonderful country with a good life for most thus encouraging immigrants past and present to settle here.

However it feels all wrong when ethnic minorities want to change our laws and history, good and bad, in their own favour, taking away any pride our children should have.

Perhaps it is time to get the chips off the shoulders and settle down to what we have to offer.

If immigrants still feel that they dislike everything this country and its people stand for, there is a big wide world out there with plenty of places to choose to live in, but I doubt they would find anywhere better than here.
