SIR – David Herdson is spot-on when his recent letter (T&A, July 28) advocated that the EDL should be ignored and thereby humiliated. Well said, David.
Freedom of expression is our most precious treasure. A ban of any description demeans the ultimate sacrifice of the countless million lives given during the 20th and 21st centuries to secure our freedoms.
Such rabble must be ignored by those misguided and stubborn enough to launch a counter demonstration. Now is time for maturity and calmness – ignore the EDL.
Councillor Dale Smith (Con, Wharfedale), Craven Park, Menston
