Ivor Caplin has his head stuck firmly in the ground if he the believes that people such as myself as a "principal" Quaker are not true peace-loving people but "yobs" (The Argus, November 3).

Indeed, it is Mr Caplin's party who are "hypocritical Zeolots" - as I discovered when I and Andy Richards from Hove Action for Peace recently endeavoured to deliver a petition signed by more than 1,000 of his own constituents at a Hove Town Hall rally against this illegal occupation.

He repeatedly refused to accept it.
