I READ with concern the article by Mr Len Gates, chairman NW Hants Liberal Democrats, regarding the ‘offer of homes to refugees’.

Has he been taking no notice of the enormous problems experienced within the EEC, following the mass, uncontrolled influx of refugees which is threatening national identity and the way of life to those affected lands?

While this is not a political speech, I believe David Cameron has got it right with his response to the crisis and he should remain firm in his resolve in tackling the refugee crisis.

I would also like to point out that over the past two years the make-up of the residents of Andover has changed considerably, along with some of the less desirable statistics.

I hope that the decision makers within our community are not making/do not make the same political mistakes that are currently happening across Europe – most recently in Cologne, Germany, where truth became a poor loser to political lies!
