NO, Walt Meadows (Letters, September 14), Mr R Butler is under no misapprehension, as you claim. He spoke the truth (Letters, September 5).
On the news recently, it was reported that a newly-built hospital could not open because there was no money to pay nurses or other staff.
On the heels of that, came the disclosure that an East Anglian Health Trust is having a struggle to maintain services.
Hopefully, you can tell the country a new fairy story as to why nearly 50,000 pensioners and low-income people, including ex-servicemen and women, marched in London recently.
No, Mr Meadows, the quicker this lot are out, the better, because, from Margaret Thatcher down, they've stolen and sold the country's 'silver' - jobs, machinery and closed factories.
We have nothing to thank the Tories for, only misery. Come into the real world.
