SIR - Peter Ashton, (Letters, February 27), reinforces my earlier point about socialism and the truth. (“How does he reach his conclusions Holmes?” - “Leninmentary, Watson, leninmentary!”).

Just because Lib-Dems didn’t oppose even the most sensible of ideas, we “colluded with” or “propped up” the Tories on Council! (I didn’t vote for anything I believed to be wrong.)

Labour’s blanket opposition to everything just for the sake of it is so immature and so “socialist” requiring the truth to be distorted to “prove” a point or to justify the unjustifiable. (and I love socialism as an ideal!).
