In response to the letters in the Wiltshire Times may I point out to the writers that if we do not take a firm grip on immigrants coming here, particularly from the Middle East, we will allow terrorists into the UK as the last Labour Government did.

If anyone thinks that this is not true just recall that 163 Syrians return ‘home’ to fight for the Isis terrorists and in addition a number of women and children did also. We are a small country and by the world statistics we are 16 million people over populated. If these letter writers want to open their homes why not house a homeless ex-soldier or a child who needs a decent foster home?
