Letters

I notice that 'Spike' (letters re Iraq) failed to give his full name and address.

I am not surprised.

His loathsome disregard for the suffering of our armed forces and their vigilance and readiness to protect, yes, even the likes of this 'Spike' from the kind of dangerous nonsense he espouses would be enough in Iraq to have him tortured in the most vile fashion imaginable.

I am very surprised that you chose to publish the letter instead of forwarding it directly to the police. And so it is with regret that I am cancelling my subscription to the Willesden Herald until such a time that you decline to print material that belongs, frankly, in a pornographer's boudoir rather than a respectable family newspaper.
