Dorothy Jones's ridiculous outburst (Letters, September 28) about anti-globalisation protesters in general and Councillor Taylor in particular just shows how scared the Labour establishment is of popular protest and other parties.

Coun Taylor was elected and has a mandate to put across his party's policies.

Brighton and Hove will be immeasurably better off without a mayor, whose job it is to save us from the consequences of our own voting. Please vote No in October.
