I agree with Jack Todd (Letters, December 9) about the way the Government and Brighton and Hove City Council treat the British people.

We are second-class citizens. People fought in wars to save this country and pay taxes. For what? Nothing. If you are from another country, you can come here and get a council house, help with furnishing and the red carpet treatment. It seems now we don't have Chipperfields Circus we have another, Blair's Circus. No animals, just clowns.
