IN reply to Joe Beardsworth's remarks (Letters, April 23) about not mourning the Queen Mum and it not being too soon if the monarchy were never mentioned again and it being an unnecessary left-over from a medieval society, I am wondering if he is so bigoted, why on earth he is still living here.

Would he rather have a dictator or rebels ruling England? I have only one thing to say to him: Emigrate.
