    What should stand as a symbol of unity and shared community values in Salisbury has, sadly, been misappropriated by far-right groups seeking to promote anti-migrant views. This growing trend has sparked serious concern among residents who warn that such rhetoric risks undermining the very fabric of society.

    In a recent letter to the editor, one resident voiced alarm at the escalating levels of racist abuse and open hostility in Salisbury. According to the writer, those who push anti-migrant narratives seem emboldened, yet they fail to recognise a fundamental truth: migrants are not a threat but a cornerstone of the country’s economic and social survival.

    Migrants are deeply woven into the UK’s everyday life, the letter explained. They sustain vital sectors such as medical and dental health, social care, leisure, retail, science, and technology. Without their contribution, many of these services would collapse, leaving families, communities, and vulnerable individuals without the essential care and support they rely on. In short, the absence of migrants would bring enormous strain to local services and the wider economy.

    The resident went further, pointing out that the roots of the nation’s difficulties do not lie with migrants at all but with systemic issues that long pre-date their arrival. Austerity measures, spiraling inflation, a severe lack of affordable housing, ongoing NHS pressures, and chronic underfunding of public services are the real culprits behind people’s frustrations. Shifting blame onto migrants, the writer argued, is not only unfair but dangerously misleading.

    Instead of directing anger at new arrivals, protestors should be demanding stronger commitments from both local and national governments. Investment in schools, hospitals, housing, and other infrastructure is what is urgently required to relieve the pressure on communities. Yet such projects depend on skilled labour, and when that workforce cannot be found locally, it must be sourced from abroad. Migrants, therefore, are not a burden but an indispensable part of making those improvements a reality.

    The letter concluded with a powerful reminder: “Our country needs migrants if we are to develop and become a better land for us all.” Far from weakening society, migration enriches it — providing talent, skills, and energy that fuel progress.

    Why does the UK need migrants?

    Migrants are vital because they:

    • Fill critical labour shortages in healthcare, social care, agriculture, and construction.
    • Support the economy through taxes, entrepreneurship, and consumer spending.
    • Bring unique skills and expertise not always available locally.
    • Enhance cultural exchange, drive innovation, and foster global connections.

    The message could not be clearer. The UK’s future prosperity depends on embracing migrants, not rejecting them. To build a stronger and fairer society, the conversation must shift away from division and scapegoating, and towards collaboration, investment, and unity.
