WITH the rapid rise of the far-left, following Jeremy Corbyn becoming Labour's new leader, it is hardly surprising that certain elements like P Montoya (Mailbox last week) will attack views that go against their own.

On my way to a recent Bruges Group event about the EU referendum, I had to walk through the demonstrating and intimidating rabble, which was very unpleasant to say the least.

There were at least four arrests and many, many more complaints against those involved in this supposed 'peaceful' demonstration.

If the reader had read our previous letter, they would have realised that far from putting blame on the weak, my party strongly believes in democracy and protecting our freedoms.
