PETE Winstanley says I am talking “nonsense” about the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Britons from parts of their own homeland (HAS, Jan 30). I know it might be hard for Mr Winstanley to see this when residing in an area of Britain that according to the 2001 census was 97.7 per cent white.
You only have to travel to places like Bradford, Burnley, Oldham and Leicester to see entire districts where the indigenous population no longer resides.
Mr Winstanley puts it down to white people becoming more affluent than their ethnic counterparts and moving out of an area, allowing more people from ethnic minorities to move in.
Nonsense. Many poor indigenous Britons simply move to other economically and socially-deprived areas to be with their kin. This is not racism, but tribalism as human beings are tribal animals and prefer to live among their own kind.
If Mr Winstanley insists on more social engineering with forced integration and in saying I am wrong, then I challenge him to take me on in the General Election and let the people of North Durham decide what they want for themselves and their children’s future.
Pete Molloy, BNP Prospective Parliamentary Candidate, North Durham.
RALPH Musgrave thinks that I am not qualified to comment on matters of immigration and integration because of where I live (HAS, Feb 4).
Readers may be amused to learn that I live just two miles from Mr Musgrave, and that I lived much closer to him for 12 years before moving to my present address.
I am very familiar with the area of Newcastle where BNP regional organiser Ken Booth lives. Perhaps Mr Musgrave thinks that I just sit at home, and that nothing I say is based on experience.
I was born just south of London, and lived in Birmingham, York and South Wales before moving to Durham.
Until recently, I was a frequent visitor to Bradford and Leeds, because my children were at university there, my daughter living in a mainly Muslim area of Leeds. I regularly visit friends and close relatives in London and other British cities, and in several foreign countries.
On the basis of Mr Musgrave’s argument, BNP leader Nick Griffin is certainly not qualified to comment on life in Britain’s cities, because he lives on a farm in Wales.
Pete Winstanley, Durham.
