I have crossed political swords with Councillor Pat Beresford in the Adur District Council chamber several times but on one issue we both agreed: Our community should be free of racial prejudice.

Racism is too important an issue to be used as a tool for political vendettas and his former Lib-Dem colleagues (February 20) should be holding their heads in shame.
