A LUBIN unfortunately destroys her argument by the use of smear tactics every time she writes to your newspaper (Evening Advertiser October 19).

Does she ever read a newspaper or watch television?

She must be the only person in the UK unaware of the gun crime, perpetrated by Yardie gangsters in our major cities.

Or the activities of the Triad gangs and criminals who have entered this country from Eastern Europe.

Predictably, and probably in deference to political correctness, no statistics have been released by the Home Office but the extent of the problem has been given ample coverage by the media, which 'facts' no doubt will be branded as rubbish by your correspondent.

Is it not reasonable for members of the indigenous population who have contributed a lifetime of service to express concern at Government failure to prevent the entry and activities of drug-related criminal elements resident in this country?
