SIR After reading the article by David Barnett (T&A, May 2), are the views expressed on the BNP his own or the Telegraph & Argus's?

While not being a BNP supporter myself, if I were I would find his article offensive. Has he not heard of democracy?

And as for calling quite a lot of T&A readers stupid, I imagine quite a lot of BNP supporters buy your paper, like other voters the mind boggles.

I think an apology is called for.
