I CANNOT believe the absolute nonsense that John Gilmore believes about Jeremy Corbyn (HAS, Dec 17).

If, (perish the thought) he became prime minister he certainly would not have our wonderful Armed Forces fight for anything or against any country, particularly Communist countries.

As someone who had a father and four of his brothers fight in the last war (two of whom gave their lives) for the freedoms we enjoy today, it saddens me to think that this country could give it all away by having a pacifist Marxist lead us.
