MICHAEL Williams says “We need a commitment to Wales” in last week’s Western Telegraph. He seems to think that Nigel Farage is standing for Wales in the EU elections.

He is not - but a local man is.

Mr Williams says Wales needs the European Union.

Okay let’s look at facts.

In Pembrokeshire it takes weeks to get an appointment with a doctor and years to get to see some specialist registrars.

The local hospital is on the point of downgrading and it looks like 500 or so people will be out of work if the Murco refinery closes. Try for a job, and you will find yourself competing with dozens, or even scores, of other applicants.

Yet this crazy government is pushing councils to develop housing estates, so Pembrokeshire County Council is allowing construction of hundreds of new houses in and around our county towns. Local builders? No fear! Are there masses of locals who are sleeping rough because they have no homes?

Not likely. Are there scores of newly-weds who have to live at home as there is nowhere to go? Of course not!

Not only do we pay £55 million a day – yes, every day (enough to build many new hospitals), simply to belong to the EU, in turn the EU has taken away our sovereign right to control our borders, our right to decide which criminals or terrorists should or should not be allowed to remain here and have damaged thousands of small businesses through their obsession with EU rulings.

The EU has destroyed our fishing industry and is well on the way to demolishing our agriculture. The European Court of Human Rights gives plenty of ‘human rights’ to the guilty ‘imported’ offenders we need to deport, but none to the victims of these criminal gangs.

We can’t simply ignore the European Court because we belong to the EU.

But here is the good news.

UKIP has a local candidate that you can vote for – he is Nathan Gill. Just Google his name and read his web site and then you will see that Wales needs UKIP to represent them in the EU. People who are prepared to say “NO” if new legislation is harmful to Britain and, of course, Wales.
