I CAME to this town in 1978 on a visit.

I was born in London, lived in Surrey, the West Country for 15 years and Scandinavia.

The Midlands is the backbone of the country, the new town of Redditch being green and pleasant.

As a young student one of my friends lived in a Jewish children’s home, Osterley Park, London, as her parents were taken to a concentration camp.

Another friend, Bodil, came to England.

Germans had marched into her country.

Her father, a train driver took injured British airmen hidden on his train to the frontier.

The doctor living next door treated their wounds, was discovered, taken onto the street and shot, his house burnt, the family gone.

A young New Zealander remained concealed in the basement of the hosue until after the war.

My own father took supplies to the Russians, many of his comrades died.

It was instilled in me that you do not stir up racism, bigotry and fascism.

On Tuesday last, I was in Redditch.

There was a young man haranging a lady about her politics. He had a very loud voice and was trying to ‘goose step’ along the pavement.

He was in need of using his brain before opening his mouth.

He was narcissistic and aggressive. This person turned out to be a Mr Preston.

He was offensive to my sensibilties.

The good people of Redditch should think long and hard as to why there was a table with such material laid out in front of St Stephen’s Church.

The town gave the freedom of the borough to a worthy and venerable recipient Mr Walter Stranz.

What right do the likes of the Mr Prestons of this worls have to stir up and be responsible for the diatribe witnessed? What attainment has he achieved?

There should be a committee to look into the question of expenses.

MPs should be made to pay back what they have taken.

No-one said anything when a son of a certain Tory Prime Minister became lost in Equatorial Guinea in 2004 in the Sahara, was involved with the Sultan of Brunei, had shady dealings in Oman and Cementation, and in 1985 was involved in arms deals in Saudi Arabia and amassed a personal fortune of £60 million.

In 2004, there were questions in Harare, capital of Zimbabwe, Africa and in the end he was deported from Africa, being unwelcome in America.

We the tax payer paid to find him. The Speaker of the Commons should not be used as a scapegoat.

There has been a questionable and blatant attack on the MP for Redditch.

As I stood at Church Green, near to the war memorial honouring our war dead, I thought it was totally inappropriate for anyone to be allowed to harangue members of the public on the topic in question but then I was told that Mr Preston might have six toes.

Mrs A Adams, Redditch
