Interesting letter from Down Under, by Doug Jacques, 89 yrs

Doug writes about himself in a letter to the NF:

A Yorky born in Barnsley  in 1918,  Dad was in  WW1, an  air force mechanic. me - a  junior steward P & O  5yrs then into army June 39.Dunkirk, Tobruk, El Alemein twice and on to Monte Carlo. Saw newborn son May 1940 on returning from Dunkirk,  next time I saw him he was 5 1/2  yrs old.   Got Fed up with UK's constant rain decided on OZ where I had friends.

Migrated  Jan 1950 and have had a very happy life  ever since but never lost my love of Britain . Was brought up to  love England and to respect the law. Per U K relatives, friends and  Brit newspapers have kept a lively interest in things British. Was always a conservative voter despite being born in a mining town. It was a case of  voting for the best of a bad bunch. I am bemused , amazed, astonished and astounded at the deterioration of that once great country Britain. As an observer from afar I feel  my opinions  have a ring of   impartiality. You know, "The observer sees more of the game than the players. The utter apathy of the British people astounds me, how can so many fine people allow themselves to be so  deceived.?  Quite a few politicians, starting with Ted Heath   deserve to end their days on the  block at Tower Hill. Total and utter traitors all.    Britain has an electoral system which allows a candidate to win a seat wit just 40 % of the vote, thus  60% did not want him. The Australian  preferential  system prevents that by  giving voters a second choice. who often wins a seat  by  earning more preferences than the one with most  votes. I suggest you  search the web for "Australian  preferential voting". It is most interesting. I feel it is much fairer. We do not have compulsory voting but we do have compulsory attendance at the polling booth. My suggestions for Britain  are,
Stop all immigration, full stop, no exceptions. GET OUT OF THE DAMNED E U. There are   most of your problems.
Why should one of the oldest   democratic systems -  Westminster be ruled from a foreign country.? The E U. is it now 27 countries? They all have different cultures and cannot at anytime ever really coalesce.  My learned friend a London news editor told me that being in the E U prevented wars. well I say the  have been 27 wars since  1945. Men are like dogs and will always fight. My opinion of all  major part in Britain is not of the highest. I think the National front has the right idea but I would like to see you amalgamate with the National party and become powerful. I love  you all and all the things you are doing  and more power to your elbows. Good luck to you fine  folk.
