I was born in Beckenham and my grandad was a Cambridgeshire agricultural worker called Joe Mead - but hey, never let the truth get in the way of a good smear!

But this man is a public figure who risks offending many people- myself included, as you may call me an 'immigrant', though I have grown up in England and am now paying tax- if he releases his opinion on this very sensitive issue. For this reason, he should have kept his opinion to himself. By the way, are you a BNP member, or have you ever considered becoming one?

WHY should he be suspended by the Tory party? The man is expressing his viewpoint - just as you do - and his words chime with most people. This country is being taken away from us by this crap government and their mass immigration policy. JUST WHY do people like you take offence when others speak the truth about the effects of such policies? SARAH.
