Former Chelsea captains John Terry and Dennis Wise have appeared to back a call to deport benefit-claiming migrants in a post from Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post featuring a clip of him speaking in the House of Commons, Lowe wrote: \u2018We should ban foreigners from claiming benefits, and remove migrants who are incapable of financially supporting themselves \u2013 use those many saved billions to slash tax for the British men and women keeping the economy running.<\/p>\n

\u2018Restore Britain would do exactly that, and put our own people first. Finally.\u2019<\/p>\n

Former England star Terry was among those reply, writing: \u2018100 per cent yes.\u2019 The post also appeared to be endorsed by another former Blues captain in Wise who wrote \u2018200 per cent\u2019. <\/p>\n

Wise is the club\u2019s second most successful captain of all-time, behind Terry. He made 445 appearances for Chelsea, wearing the captain\u2019s armband from 1993 to when he left the club in 2001. <\/p>\n

It comes after Terry appeared to endorse policy to ban the burqa in public spaces in Britain last month.<\/p>\n

Lowe, a former chairman of Southampton, also said he would outlaw signs in foreign languages at stations.<\/p>\n

The former centre-half responded to the post with three clapping emojis.<\/p>\n

Terry was criticised for the post with the Restore leader later defending the 45-year-old.<\/p>\n

\u2018I see that England\/Chelsea legend John Terry is taking some flak for applauding Restore Britain\u2019s policy of banning the burqa and ensuring that all London stations use English, and English only.<\/p>\n

\u2018This is the position the vast majority of the British people support.<\/p>\n

\u2018There is now a political party that will say exactly what people think and fight to make it happen. Restore Britain.\u2019<\/p>\n

Since hanging up his boots, Terry has served as assistant manager under Dean Smith at Aston Villa, returning to Chelsea in 2022 in a consultancy role working with the club\u2019s academy.<\/p>\n

Recent reports also suggest he is in talks with Colchester United over a surprise takeover at the club.<\/p>\n

His old club Chelsea are once again on the lookout for a new permanent manager following the sacking of Liam Rosenior. <\/p>\n

Calum McFarlane has been moved up from the Under-21 side to lead the team on a interim basis with sections of Chelsea\u2019s support calling for Terry to be involved in some capacity for the final games of the season.<\/p>\n

Terry recently revealed however he \u2018did not get a call\u2019 from the decision-makers at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m not sure what Calum\u2019s backroom staff is going to look like, I\u2019ve not had a call, I\u2019ve not had a message, I will be continuing my role in the academy,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ll be with the academy tomorrow, we\u2019ve got a big couple of games coming up.\u2019<\/p>\n
