AFTER reading the latest rant from A Lubin, I am left wondering whether we both live on the same planet. (SA May 27).

She knows perfectly well that I was not referring to the thousands of "legal" immigrants who have made and are making a splendid contribution to prosperity in the UK.

In simple language, which I trust she can understand, my criticism is directed against this supine Government, which has allowed worldwide criminal elements to set up shop in this country and whose activities are daily reported in the media.

Your correspondent should ask the police and prison authorities for the ratio of foreign criminals to those from the indigenous population, whose activities have resulted in the dismissal of a Home Secretary and brought misery to communities throughout the UK.
