REGARDING the letter by Geoff Bulmer about the state of the main political parties (HAS, Oct 9). Such are the views of the correspondent that he can’t make his mind up regarding who he cares to be voting for at the next General Election.

He writes: "I am for the Labour Party when it remembers its origins." Some hope.

Then he decides that history has no part to play in our thinking or logic.

However, the Second World War could have been averted if we had learnt our lesson from the Great War (the war to end all wars was the theme). Instead we pacified despots and pandered to their evil machinations while they rampaged through Europe and those who stood in their way.

He then insults the people of this country, suggesting we listen to a puffed up toff - Baroness Warsi - who was not only being hypocritical but arrogant. She was condoning the slaughter of many people in the Middle East while ignoring a butchery going back to the Sixth Century. That is the kind of behaviour we cannot stand by and ignore.

Europe has just been invaded by Russia yet the great EU stands by and spouts a load of hot air. We even comply by reducing our Armed Forces to an irrelevance; an irrelevance that will cost us dear.

As for Mr Cameron, Mr Miliband and Mr Clegg the three of them together have not the intelligence or the courage to make this a nation of substance and success.

As for Mr Bulmer he is too busy fighting the class war of the past to make any sense.
