WHAT a crazy mixed-up world we’re living in.

Regular contributor to your letters pages Kenny Lloyd (The Argus, August 9) doesn’t seem to know his right-wing from his left.

By his rude and arrogant attack on the “stupidity of 17 million people” by whom, presumably, he means those who voted for Brexit, he betrays an utter contempt for the electorate.

In his comment prior to this statement that “most territories around the globe will be run by either the USA, the Russian Federation, the Communist Chinese and/or the European Union” he completely contradicts his own Remainiac argument that we will be run by “The New world Order”.

We already are, Kenny, by that organisation’s enforcers, namely the EU.

I expect that Kenny, in common with most of those who claim, somewhat erroneously in my opinion, to be “left-wing,” regard my party, Ukip, to be right-wing extremists.

In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Our party does not do “isms,” simply common sense policies.

He may be pleasantly surprised to know that Ukip believes having a roof over one’s head is a human right, which is why we would restore to local authorities the right to borrow against their housing revenue accounts in order to build a new generation of truly affordable council homes, obviously on a means-tested basis for local residents only.

We can’t afford either the land or the funds to house the greater population of the European continent.

Ukip also believes that British workers have the right to a decent living wage, free from being undercut by the importation of cheap labour from the economically devastated countries of southern and eastern Europe by unscrupulous British employers who care not a jot for the needs of either group.

Furthermore, Ukip does not support imperialist, interventionist, foreign wars, such as those launched by Tony Blair, George W Bush and various EU countries.

The legacy of these can be seen in the ongoing migrant crisis and the scandal of British Veterans, many of whom suffer from PTSD, sleeping in shop doorways and seafront shelters in all weather.

I could go on Kenny, but I am mindful of leaving sufficient space for other letters, so I’m hopeful that this has provided a little food for thought for all readers.

I wonder which “ism” you would apply to Ukip and our fellow Brexiteers now?
