SIR - One wonders how correspondent Alan Chapman sleeps at night, lying awake, tossing and turning, worrying where the next communist threat might come from, the Greens or Scottish Nationalists; that Ed McCluskey will choose the next Labour Party leader; that middle England are paying for the welfare of others.

Also that zero hours contracts and minimum wages might be seen for what they are; that the Tory election pledges of 2010, still unfulfilled in 2015, allowed a second victory based on well-rehearsed lies; that the Tories have been “stitched up” over boundary changes; that Nick Clegg recently said the odious word “fairness” in every sentence and more than once in some; and his latest demon, that left wing bias has infiltrated the BBC as evidenced by a recently aired programme that gave a somewhat jaundiced view of Winston Churchill and his failure at the ballot box in 1945, which he believes was made as revenge for Labour losing the recent election!

Don’t lose sleep over conspiracy theories, Mr Chapman.

Preposterous as it may seem, perhaps Mr Churchill, unpopular in peacetime, feted in war, wasn’t the man to lead the peace in 1945 and the electorate rejected him on his pre-war record?
