On the 16th. January it was reported, that a delegation of Indians from Hong Kong was lobbying within the British Parliament for the right for their people to settle in Britain.

These Indians undoubtedly went originally to Hong Kong from their homes in India. Their sole claim to residency in any other land, which can possibly be recognised, must surely be their right to return to their homeland.

I think it should be emphasised on occasions, that India despite its huge population is more sparsely

populated than the British Isles.

Even in this rural location I have observed of late an increase in conspicuous groups of Vietnamese people in circulation. Contrary to assumption it is clear these nationals are still being settled here by our authorities. This week a German radio report described a constant traffic of boats arriving in S.E. Asian countries with Vietnamese, who were not allowed to stay but were funnelled out to nations in the West willing to accept these immigrants.

Year after year I read statistics of Asians and Africans settling our homeland, bringing influences, which are changing the whole character of our nation. I find repugnant the fact, that not one government over these many years has had the commonsense to preserve its own people's interests by declaring "not, one more". For me this invasion remains for ever the greatest disaster ever to overtake our people, beside which the economy, unemployment, balance of payments etc - or anything else remain insignificant.

Yours faithfullyaller (C.5. Bullen)
