SIR – I am becoming sick and tired of ongoing cases of shooting, drug-trafficking etc.

Surely this violence is not something we should be experiencing. Where is the deterrent? It is certainly not cutting police services. More officers are having to work where their hands are tied. Where is the answer?

Then we have the Europeans interfering, which, in many ways, beggars belief. The human rights laws, are a god-send to criminals. Let us run Britain as we see it, not with all the Euro humbug.

We have a great police force envied by most countries. The force needs support. Now is the time for us all to get shut of all these life-threatening activities of drug-trafficking etc. Do not ever yield to this violence.
