YOU ask what goes on in the Burnley and Pendle Racial Equality Council (LET Opinion, July 23). May I say: equality rubbish.

When we sent a battle fleet to the Falklands, it was to preserve the British right of the islanders, to protect the entity of a few thousand people of British stock and maintain their identity with us.

Earlier, such as I had left the world's battlefields, but little could we forecast the odious betrayal of the principles we had shed our blood for.

How could we predict the rapacious jaws of the Race Board awaiting us?
