I think my Sikh neighbours have done much to make up for the economic decline of my local former Steel-making area. I am pleased that as a Councillor 40 years ago I helped some fight deportation , and now Labour - and other Parties- local reps should do this now.

My Great Grandpa came to Liverpool in 1874. It took 30 years to get ‘naturalisation’ , which he succeeded apparently thru getting to know the ‘right people’ thru the Masons. (My Dad wasn’t impressed when told this!) So will we get more of this form of corruption?

Really annoyed that Greens, Your Party, local Labour Parties seem to have nothing to say about this major loss of expertise.
