One recent correspondent claims the demonstration outside the Grand Ocean Hotel at Saltdean was "fascist" but does not identify to which of the opposing factions he refers.

Does he mean the law-abiding, tax-paying residents who are appalled at the influx of people from another land and culture, some of whom may be terrorists or carriers of contagious diseases, anxious for treatment on our overwhelmed NHS? Or does he mean the handful of aggressive, shouting strangers to Saltdean who attempted to stifle free speech and legitimate protest?

I did not serve my country in the RAF in order to allow politicians to swamp our dear England in this dreadful manner.
