I WAS under the impression that the citizens of this country were obliged to tolerate all other citizens regardless of their race, colour or creed, or face prosecution in the event of their failure to do so.
This no longer seems to be the case. However, a bright spot in the situation is that such people as Albert Morris (Letters, February 2) together with the Prime Minister and others, can now rub their hands in glee over the downfall of Glen Hoddle.
The pity is that this incident did not happen a few hundred years ago, when they could have watched him burning at the stake - an even greater pleasure.
