My City, Peterborough, let us welcome our Rumanian and Bulgarian newcomers - we'll make them as welcome as they would us in their country

Peterborough City Council Peterborough Dear Sirs Perceived views of Immigrants – Welcome perceived by incomers Several things strike me when I read of the ‘threats’ from incomers See the Daily Mail articles extract attached
1. Our press are always willing, baddy jornos, to ‘help’, of course they always want to sell papers at any cost and this is what we get it is what we deserve maybe. It is negative in the extreme and almost incites bad feelings doesn’t it.
2. I can say that NOWHERE is Europe or all points west of Nairaobi where I have lived will you encounter such an Idi Amin version of welcoming newcomers as if we don’t want them we say we don’t. You CANNOT have a cohesive society with an approach and an attitude like this and this unfortunately is our character. A nation that has taken inall comers to our credit especially for religious and political reasons. 3. From the Huguenots to Jews we have.
4. WE NEED A FRESH APPROACH – well at least we need to try one and we need to do it quickly ias the Bulgarian and Rumanian influx approaches I am not slow in putting forward oideas as a Peterborough bloke and one who has been welcomes wherever I have been, Balkans to Bolivia, Lagos to London I am married to a bjet black Nigerian and have a nine year old daughter, we can they can tesify what attitudes they have met WHICH ARE NOT THOSE OF THE DIRTY DAILY MAIL, DINGO JORNOS
WHAT DO THE PCC DO?
Take an independent view. Elect/appoint even pay an Immigrant Ombudsman – can I not be slow in coming forward- me Right now – the dissemination of positive press coverage of the forthcoming immigration, as positive as possible including forging visible ties with Rumania and Bulgaria, Diplomatic visits and formal cereminies etc
A high profile, including me, panel of people who are there to be approached by Immigrants and US LOCALS WHO WANT TO PUT FORWARD VIEWS AT THIS POINT - let them get all and any views aired
THIS NEED NOT BE TIED TO PETERBOROUGH CITY COUNCIL TO THE EXTENT THAT IT PURPORTS TO BE OFFICIAL - IE ITS VIEWS ARE INDEPENDENT
IT CAN ACT FOR ALL AND IF SEEN AS INDEPENDENT OF AUTHORITY
We need some language specialists for translation work now A cohesive society is what is important not these newspaper people, nonsense that they write which is oft taken as truth
Yours faithfully,
Peter Francis
aa. Chief Constable Cambridgeshire Police – Sir, will you support this to help all comers??
