WHERE is the Government taking us? We have the proposed closing down of 35 old folk's residential homes by the Labour-controlled Lancashire County Council and the Government is now looking for building sites to accommodate asylum seekers.

Is this not fodder for the BNP? For it is sure going to make the ordinary British public think racist.

I am not a racist, nor am I a supporter of the BNP, but like many more pensioners, I wonder whether or not I am turning into one (I hope not).

Let us look after our own citizens before making epitaphs for some jumped-up political do-gooders.

Are we going to raze old folk's homes to the ground so as to build homes for the asylum seekers -- so that they can burn them down if they don't come up to their expectations?

Come on, let's get our priorities right once and for all.
