Oh dear, Mr Gold is back this time as the friend of the huntsman (Letters, November 12).

If he supports the "right" of grown adults to put on silly clothes and torture and kill wild animals for fun, he should come out and say so rather than try to hide behind the "this is not a priority" argument.

The kind of free-market break-our-own-rules-to-line-our-own-pockets economics he advocates have done nothing but harm our lives and the Tory party's lack of electoral prospects shows the electorate is more than aware of this.
