SIR – I think it’s about time your correspondent Brian Holmans let go of the ‘slut’ remark by Godfrey Bloom, who has now apologised and paid for his outrageous remarks.

The European equivalent of our Westminster Whip has been withdrawn from him by Ukip, who have rebuked and reprimanded him and he no longer speaks in Europe on our behalf but as an independent.

Let’s move on, but remember the Whip was not removed from PM Brown when he, covertly not openly, referred to a female supporter as a bigot.
