SIR – One of the organisers of the Aldermaston protests said (T&A, February 16) that the majority of the UK population were against our having a nuclear deterrent. On what official basis was the statement made?

Those arrested and the organisers, if found guilty, should be put, at their own expense, on a plane to Tehran to protest over there.

The Iranians would deal with them adequately.
