OUR weak-kneed government are not prepared to boycott French imports, even though the French are not obeying the European ruling and are still banning our beef. In addition, it has now been disclosed that the French feed their cattle on human sewage.

The answer is in the hands of the public: do not buy anything French. I have been boycotting their goods for some time because the way they have treated our farmers over the years is a disgrace. Who misses things like their "cardboard" Golden Delicious apples, anyway? I would also suggest that Bury's French twinning links be suspended in protest.

MR. S. C. LORD,

Bramley Drive, Bury.
