It was interesting to see the postcard from Nicholas Boles (The Argus, April 15).

How things have turned around in 20 years, with Tory candidates now happy to be openly gay but ashamed to admit they are Conservative.

It's not surprising Mr Boles does not want to be associated with the Tories and their plans to do billions of pounds worth of damage to the NHS and other public services but it's a bit cheeky to claim to be "a champion of Hove and Portslade" when he's a councillor for Soho in London.

Maybe his postcard should have read "wish you were here..."
