Crime figures massaged

I WAS unfortunate enough to be enticed to a Neighbourhood Watch meeting recently, one of the many gatherings we are all now used to at this time of year.

I was in the Neighbourhood Watch once, until one day my back door was kicked in while I was at one of their meetings and I had displayed their sign on the front door.

Crime is certainly not down. The figures are just doctored by this awful Government to disguise the true facts.

I see in the Dudley News this week local MP Ian Austin's sudden show of patriotism.

This man couldn't be more opposite of a patriot if he tried but now, suddenly, just before the local election, he is photographed with all his target local candidates with a Union flag on a table in front of them.

We have suffered the worst 11 years under Labour I can ever think of and if anyone is stupid enough to vote for them this time, they deserve all they get.

Our MP was among those who agreed to the UK signing the EU Treaty without even holding the referendum they pledged in their manifeso when they came to power.

I thank God this country still has a few good people and sincerely hope that everyone will come out and vote this year before it really is too late.

The people to trust are those brave enough to fight the next and vital war of words in Europe and I know the only people honest enough to do that are UKIP.

And the only local man ever to decently represent us was former UKIP councillor Malcolm Davis.

What utter rot!

UKIP's MEPs have done next to nothing other than to claim between one and two million pounds a year between them in EU expenses paid into by the British taxpayer!

Now they haven't even got the decency to tell us for what they have been claiming so much of our money.

I can't think of a single thing they have done for us - except to claim and spend our taxes!

I do know one of their MEPs has just completed a jail sentence for benefit fraud and that another is under investigation by the UK police for alleged fraud (used our tax money to buy himself a French car - it is alleged amongst other matters). In addition, if the Times is correct, then all their MEPs are under investigation by OLAF - the EU's anti-fraud people.

They are certainly not the sort of people I want representing me - not that there is the slightest chance of any of them being elected!
