SIR – I must congratulate Bradford Council for taking quick and decisive action to remove Occupy Bradford anti-capitalist demonstrators after they refused to move, despite various polite requests.
As for being inspired by the Occupy London protest and the Arab Spring uprisings in the Middle East, some people in the Bradford district decided to jump on the bandwagon of what has been happening around the world but, of course, they were too late.
The so-called anti-capitalists are costing the ordinary tax payer money by making various bodies like Bradford Council use the legal process to obtain a court order to remove them. This money should have been spent on improving the vulnerable in the Bradford District who need it.
