SIR — I agree 100 per cent with your correspondent (Your Letters February 10) about the hypocritical and dishonest UKIP campaign.

Sadly this is what we have come to expect, especially so in a week when the second highest circulation national daily paper was officially banned as a source by Wikipedia as “dishonest” and the Government’s own Brexit white paper admitted that the claimed “UK loss of sovereignty” to the EU was actually not real - it had just “felt that way”.

And the Foreign Secretary admitted (and then attempted to laugh off as hyperbole) the lie of the £350 million per week claim.

Your correspondent also draws attention to the huge and invaluable contribution migrants make to our country.

And on February 20, to coincide with the UN World Day of Social Justice, the One Day Without Us action day will mark their contribution to the well-being of this country.

As you go about your daily routine, consider the impact if all the non-UK citizens upped sticks and left.

Hospitals under-staffed, restaurants and cafés, agricultural services, retail and delivery sectors all without workers to take on even the low-paid and often unattractive jobs.What then?

A Government plan hatched by a former Minister was to replace migrant workers harvesting vegetables with old age pensioners - though it failed to explain who would then straighten the spines of these OAPs at the end of an eight-hour shift.

The European project is as much about bringing people and peoples together as it is about economic gain - don’t let lies drive us further apart.

Peter Whitby,

Bossington.
