SIR – There, there, Malcolm Chapman, (Letters, October 16), I have got my facts right, so why don’t you?

Yes I am a Ukip man now but I only write as one if my views are those of the party. Many if not all of the Bradford branch do not share my views on Maggie.

She attacked the near-despotic and undemocratic behaviour of the union leaders and those members who followed them like sheep and were in the minority.

They defeated Callaghan and assured victory for her and she was obviously supported by the majority in subsequent elections.

Read letters before firing both barrels at other letter writers.
