Adam Trimingham's column about Michael Howard and Jewish immigration to Britain was most apt, especially when, once again, Jews may be targeted by violent bigots from another religion (The Argus, November 6).
The foul persecution over decades - not just in Nazi Germany - gave Britain a rich share of Jewish refugees who were the flower of European culture not only in the arts, but in science, academia and business.
We should always be grateful for their contribution, without which Britain would be a poorer place.
"Something of the night" about Michael Howard? A recent two-lined letter in The Times posed the question: "Could he be a star?"
