When Brighton and Hove Labour councillors call for people not to change their voting habits because of the Iraq conflict, how, I wonder, are you supposed to show your thorough displeasure at the Government's action?

Unless there is a direct electoral consequence of the action, Tony Blair and the inner circle that run the Government will take it as a green light to carry out any further military actions in the future and, with it, spend billions more pounds which should be spent on better health, pensions and schools.

-J Sherman, Hove
