Letters to the Editor – Monday 21st August 2017
Today’s
first letter is actually an important statement by Ben Walker, candidate in the
current leadership contest:
Sir,
Tackling
terror: As
the recent terrorist attacks in Barcelona and Finland have shown, the people
carrying out these attacks are relentless and becoming much less sophisticated
by weaponising motor vehicles.
In
order to try and stem the tide across Western Europe, as the leader of UKIP I
would campaign and fight for the following measures:
Islam
is incompatible with democracy, and so it makes no sense to risk the lives of
our service personnel trying to install democracy into Islamic countries. The
reason it is incompatible – the laws of Allah are regarded as superior to the
laws of man.
I
will strengthen existing terror laws, and ensure authorities have all the
support and resources they need to win the fight against terror.
ISIS
fighters attempting to return to the UK will not under any circumstances be able
to do so.
All
suspects currently on watch lists will be electronically tagged, investigated
and either imprisoned or deported following conviction.
For
offenders charged and sentenced with terror related offences: family members,
associates and places of worship will also be investigated to determine any
potential links and could face prosecution under the terrorism act.
The
result would be twofold: either they will be prosecuted under the law or they
will be deported.
I
will also deport all foreign terrorists to their country of origin post
punishment of British law. They will be stripped of their British citizenship
and be prevented from re-entering the UK thereafter.
Here
at home in Great Britain there is a sense of creeping Islamisation. People are
uncertain, even fearful of some of the practices and ideology behind the
religion of Islam.
In
order that we as a nation ensure a better integration and demonstrate a better
compatibility of our two cultures I would campaign for the following:
The
religious slaughter of animals will be banned in abattoirs throughout the UK.
It has no place here and is incompatible with British values and our strong
sense of animal welfare.
I
will uphold and enforce the supreme right of British law in the UK. No other law
is to be recognised. Sharia courts and councils will be outlawed.
I
will overturn the current government’s cowardly position on child rape gangs and
abolish the political correctness which is preventing police officers carrying
out their duties.
Perpetrators
regardless of race or origin will be given prison sentences and/or deportation
with an extra tariff where a racial element to the offences has been proven. I
will ensure child victims of rape are much better protected and remove the
unnecessary and intimidating, cross-examination by defendant’s
lawyers.
All
FGM hospital admissions are to be reported, investigated and those responsible
brought to justice. This barbaric practice cannot continue to operate without
prosecution.
The
criminal justice system is broken. As UKIP leader I will be very tough on law
and order. When people carry out a serious crime, they would lose their rights
to citizenship along with their vote.
In
order that we demonstrate that crime cannot pay, I will campaign for the
implication of the following changes:
Re-nationalise
the Prison Service and offer employment to retiring or former members of the
Armed Services with at least 10 years- service, to increase the prison officer
numbers by 7,000
End
prisoner to prisoner contact unless supervised and remove access to the internet
and electronic gaming. Prison should and will be a very bad place to be sent
to.
Make
the punishments of those officers convicted of dishonourable conduct in a public
office more stringent to best demonstrate the misuse of trust to the community
of those officers.
Carry
out a full review of our current prisons and procedures.
Respectfully,
Ben Walker
