The tweet that revealed Labour’s contempt for voters

THE tweet from Emily Thornberry MP (The Yorkshire Post, November 22) shows clearly the contempt the Labour party have for voters.

The party’s election strategist Douglas Alexander has been quoted as saying Labour need to earn the support of people around the country.

Well here is the nub of the issue – Labour neither reflect the views or the mood of the country, –their values are either 1960s old-style labour relations or 1990s support of mass immigration.

Alas, the “get elected at any price” policy thinking means they will start to make a steady shift toward Ukip, but this shows them as a party with no integrity and values sold by the pound. Heaven help us if Labour win next May. We will need it!

WHAT puzzled me about the Rochester and Strood by election was the emphasis placed by Ukip on this constituency being the 271st on its “hit list”. This figure was surely based on the constituency being held by a popular Conservative MP who would stand at the next general election?

When Mark Reckless “jumped” to the Ukip ship and became its candidate in the by-election he himself had created, the constituency immediately became number one on the Ukip hit list. It couldn’t be anything else. Had Ukip not taken it, it would have been nothing short of total disaster for it.

WHO, in their right mind, would drape three St George’s flags on the frontage of a terrace house?

IT is my belief that what ever party Mark Reckless joined, 
he would have won that by-election. With such a large majority at the last election, 
he was obviously a 
popular local MP.

HOW I agree with Terry Morrell (The Yorkshire Post, November 20). If another country was subjected to creeping colonisation in the same way 
that England has been for the last 20 years, then the world would be up in arms crying imperialism.

However it would appear that we, the English, should just sit back and watch as millions of immigrants overwhelm us by sheer numbers.
