WITH regard to Peter Sagar’s letter (HAS, Sept 12) many people would like to get rid of multiculturalism. It was imposed on us without the consent of the English people.

I was a young woman in the Fifties. I never saw the police in riot gear, all they carried were a whistle and a truncheon.

I could walk the length and breadth of my country without being told to get out of some ethnic areas, something to which Mr Sagar closes his eyes.

The constant scream of racism to which we are now subjected was mercifully absent in those days, as was the ongoing threat of terrorist atrocities.

It is people like Mr Sagar who have robbed us of these wonderful days and imposed on us a multiculturalist wasteland.

Mrs S Sibthorpe, Darlington.
