SIR: I write to protest vehemently regarding the political article featured on Wednesday, April 23.

Indeed I speak for many friends and colleagues, who are very angry.

I am sure that you are well aware of the matter in question - I refer, of course, to the article featuring Red Moss etc., which was so totally biased against Tom Sackville in every possible way as to be almost unbelievable.

Unfortunately many of your readers will accept your opinions as truth, since they will have no way of accessing the true facts and political realities of the matter. Unbelievable as it is to all those readers fortunate enough to know the truth, there will sadly still be many entirely misled into believing you, accepting your opinions as truth.

All in all, it is a total misrepresentation of Tom Sackville and his position in respect of UK Waste plans for Red Moss. It is furthermore an insult of no small note to all his many supporters in Bolton West.
