I wold appreciate the anti-war brigade letting me know the purpose of Saddam Hussein, the peace-loving president, stockpiling horrendous weapons including nerve gas and anthrax.

It is not that long since pictures from Iraq showed a massive gun, the biggest the world has yet seen, capable of firing nuclear fusion shells northwest.

Why?

I think it is absolutely deplorable that the national Press has to urge the nation to support our fighting forces, who will be bravely defending this country's freedom.

In my day, I was educated by my parents and school to be patriotic and proudly serve my country.

Everywhere you went, the Union Flag was flying.

In those days, our leaders were respected.

I am convinced there is a sinister organisation working undercover in our country whose main aim is to disrupt the English way of life and the sooner its members are rooted out the better.

Well done to Hove MP Ivor Caplin for believing that which is happening is in Britain's national interest.
