In response to Ivor Caplin (Letters, October 10), I think the line "he doth protest too much" is appropriate here.
Council tax has risen 14.5 per cent. Actually, since 1997 it is a lot higher than this - 75 per cent higher for a band D dwelling.
Services in 2003 will be cut by £6m in Brighton and Hove. And the local NHS trust did lose one star on its performance rating, Mr Caplin.
Which bit exactly are you saying is incorrect in all this?
To deny these facts is an insult to voters. Labour does itself no favours when it is in denial about the bad news.
People are fed up with higher taxes, poor delivery and spin.
