It was sad to read recently that foreign taxi drivers of ABC Taxis in Norwich are now experiencing more racial abuse in carrying out their jobs than in the past.Part of this trouble I think can be put down to the city which for years has been described as 'a fine city' but now at times becomes at night 'a drunk city', where parts of it become no-go areas for ordinary citizens and the poor taxi drivers have to venture into to ply their trade.

The percentage of people who swung the vote Brexit's way were not people who were thinking about trade or governing ourselves issues or even the long gone good old days but simply the one of stopping all future immigrants coming into this country to take our jobs and houses.

All our young people now are constantly told to stay at school longer and then go on to college or university to try and attain a higher grade job, very often sitting down looking at a computer screen all day and this has had an effect of very few of them willing to do other essential lower paid jobs such as shop, factory or farm work.

Most young people today do not want and never will be willing to do these jobs after their years of study so we have to decide whether to keep letting in the immigrants to do these jobs or do we force our young people into these jobs by underhand methods.
