I AM appalled that you should publish such a hate-filled letter as that in today’s Echo (May 15) regarding the Royal Family and, especially without revealing the writer’s name. I deplore this practice.
I am a monarchist although I realise that there are many who hold a different view, but this is no excuse for abuse.
Perhaps those who wish for a republic might think about the consequences; our president might be a Trump, a Putin or a Mugabe; and how many so-called ‘democratic’ or ‘peoples’ republics enjoy the same level of democracy that we do?
