John Parry's crass argument urging a vote for any non-Labour candidate is sad and irrelevant (The Argus, April 11).
Voters will decide for themselves - it's called democracy. Brighton and Hove City Council leader Ken Bodfish's reply in arguing against protest votes merely highlights Labour's alarm at the inevitability of losing political power in the city.
The truth is Labour cannot be trusted. Our taxes and our name have been abused in slaughter, murder and destruction in Iraq, ignoring widespread public protest at taking Britain to war.
The £10 billion, and more, this folly has cost us is an appalling, irresponsible betrayal of the trust given to Labour.
-Keith WD Jago, Brighton
