I read that HIV cases are increasing in Wigan and the majority of infected people are from Sub Saharan Africa. Any increase in infectious diseases is a worry but one must ask the question why there are so many people from Africa in Wigan.
We like most mining towns have not been plagued by being diversified for the simple reason that mining is (or was while it existed) hard graft, and not many immigrants would take this employment.
They in the past took up what was formerly womens work in the mills, more suitable to Asians with their smaller stature and weaker physique. Now however it seems we have these Africans here. My question is why are they here? We have local unemployment so why do we need these uneducated people here. Yes we've all seen them selling balloons in Wigan but what good do they contribute to our community and town?
Many of them will also have TB as well. There will always be a few naive young white slags who will have sex with them and thus spread the infection into the local population and put the rest of the Wigan population at risk.
We did not invite these people here and I am sure they did not come for a job so why do the authorities allow or invite them here? Where do they live and who pays for their living costs? Us the taxpayers who are now being increasingly denied the benefits we have paid for in our taxes "because of the cuts" It is the height of irresponsibility and against the wishes of the vast majority of local people.
Wigan and Leigh were built by the sweat of our forebears in the mines, mills and enginering works. Admittedly parts of our environment have suffered as a result as the profits from those efforts were creamed off by the bosses and taken down South. BUT WHAT IS LEFT IS OURS and we don't want it to be further decayed. It was handed down to us and we like it.
We like our towns and communities peopled with folks like us with whom we feel comfortable. But now we have been stealthily infiltrated by these disease carrying aliens from another continent with whom we have nothing in common. And now we have to pay for the treatment of their promiscuity caused disease .
Not only that the health of our children is put at risk. Is this what our people slaved for and fought to preserve? The answer to the problem?(and the cuts) Send these unwelcome people back home, release their houses for Wiganers and us from paying for their medical care and benefits and we could have all the services WE have paid for.
Those who have visited this plague on us have a lot to answer for and hopefully in the goodness of time they will get their just deserts.
Contrary to what some councillors on Wigan Metro think, we do not welcome them, indeed their presence in our town is an affront to us. WIGAN BELONGS TO WIGANERS Link: No testing (in Wigan) despite hiv case rise:
