My response to the Gazette, on the rumours about a barge for Asylum Seekers coming to Redcar.
I will not let it happen. 
Jacob Young, Conservative MP for Redcar, said: "Since day one I have called for us to end illegal immigration and I have supported all of the Government's policies to stop the boats and jail the people smugglers.
“Meanwhile, local Labour politicians like Andy McDonald and Alex Cunningham have done everything they can to prevent the Government from taking robust action on illegal immigration.
"I think these barges are a better solution than spending taxpayers' money on expensive hotels, but there are right places and wrong places for such barges.
“Redcar is the wrong place and I will not allow it to come here.
“However, given these local Labour MPs have voted against every bill to try stop the boats, maybe the barge should go in one of their constituencies."
A reminder of what Labour MP, Alex Cunningham said when I proposed an Australian approach illegal immigration system, two years ago: http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/.../18677845.mp-calls.../
