I REFER to the news item in the Bolton Evening News, November 23 - allocation of £30 million to house illegal immigrants, supposedly political asylum seekers.
When local government are closing old folk's homes through lack of funds, probably to re-open them to house illegals, with funding from the Treasury (taxpayer) as has happened in some southern counties, it tells us voters where the politicians priorities lie - definitely not with the OAPs.
