SIR - I am liberal and Liberal Democrat, but I have no bleeding heart.
I take exception to letters such as those from Alan Chapman (T&A, December 3) and indeed MP Philip Davies who, while professing sympathy for asylum seekers, lump them together with bogus asylum seekers, economic migrants and other less desirable and call them all "asylum seekers".
Such bleeding nerve conservatives then have the cheek to attack others when we object to the term "asylum seeker" being applied to anyone of a foreign but especially Asian background who is not resident or a tourist in this country.
However, I continue to hope of better things from the man who may call himself my "representative".
Perhaps some day he really will begin to reflect in some small way my perfectly reasonable and sensible view.
