LIKE many people, my family evaded the evils of fascism in Europe in the 1930s and I regret the closure of the Bromley Refugee Network as it addresses needs and protects the human rights.
Sadly, the voice of ignorance speaks again (Shut Down, News Shopper, April 12).
Britain hosts less than two per cent of the world's refugees and asylum seekers. Home Office research shows asylum seekers would by far prefer to support themselves than be supported by the Government.
Migrant workers pay £2.5bn more in tax each year than they take out in services.
Welfare provision for asylum seekers is 30 per cent below the poverty line. They are not allowed to work even though they are often keen to seek employment.
So all you xenophobes out there get your facts right.
