TO those who, like myself, are angry at the government for the Iraq issue and are thinking of voting Lib-Dem as a protest vote.

I urge you to check what exactly the Lib-Dems stand for, in particular care over policies on crime, immigration and Europe.

If you have any sense you will not vote for them after reading their manifesto.

LIZ CALLOW (Mrs), Ermine Close, Blackburn.
