As readers will remember, Walter Wolfgang was forcibly ejected from the recent Labour Party Conference in Brighton for saying "nonsense" in the context of the Government's defence policy.
I wonder whether a comparable stifling of the democratic process is at work with reference to my letters to my MP, Celia Barlow.
I have encountered a notable silence in response to my enquiries as to Labour's observance of the 2000 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
The Independent has highlighted Tony Blair's decision to regenerate Aldermaston Weapons Establishment, to the tune of £2 billion. This hardly rates as non-proliferation.
The agreed wish, in the NPT, is to work towards ridding the globe of nuclear weapons.
What do you think? Is the reasonable peaceable NPT aim being ignored by a war-hungry PM?
I have written to Tony Blair for clarification and am awaiting a reply.
