THE tirade of abuse directed against regular contributors to your letters page by Jo Garton (EA, Dec 20) displays the mentality of someone who is still wet behind the ears.
Those like myself who came through WWII unscathed have a duty and responsibility to fallen comrades in protesting against the actions of postwar politicians resulting in the loss of UK sovereignty and heritage and the overwhelming demands placed upon essential services and the environment occasioned in no small measure by illegal immigration.
Had there been more vigorous protests by our council representatives against flawed administration the present financial shambles facing Swindon could have been avoided.
