Brian Oxley, leader of the Tory group on Brighton and Hove City Council, says his party is campaigning for "positive" change (Letters, March 10).
The changes they want are not positive but reactionary. Here are three examples.
One, at the last council meeting, they proposed cutting the equal-opportunities budget.
Two, at the council meeting before, they excelled at fearmongering on the issue of asylum-seekers.
Three, only the other day, their national party leader, Iain Duncan Smith, voted in Parliament to restore the discredited Section 28 of the Local Government Act.
The Tory Party remains the "nasty party."
-Coun John Balance, Labour member for Tenantry ward, Brighton
