SIR – Further to the comments of Mr Hall, the Human Rights Act has often been used to uphold frivolous complaints and imaginary grievances,(T&A, April 7).
Thus within this context, travellers have been shown a leniency which would not apply to others.
For example, while travellers have often billeted in public car parks, not only are they exempt from parking charges, but often refuse is left which is then cleared by the councils at public expense.
The Human Rights Act was legislated to protect people from persecution and genocide, not to uphold imaginary complaints.
Finally, while the atrocities of the Nationalist Socialists in Germany are frequently highlighted, little is said of the vast slaughter perpetrated by the Bolshevik regime over 70 years, from the brutal civil wars, a politically-induced famine in Ukraine and the Reign of Terror.
