MARGO Grimshaw (LET, April 25) says the protest against Condoleezza Rice should have been more polite.

Well Margo, I agree that protests in a civilised society should also be civilised. However, society under this Blair Government is NOT civilised any more.

I can understand that people are at the end of their tethers with this Government and can see that less polite protests will be on the increase if this lot remain in power for much longer.

It seems almost every week that some scandal involving New Labour comes to light.
