On St George's Day, April 23, 2008, I visited Fenland Hall where the Union Flag was flying. That incorporates the flag of St George, as everyone knows.

I then went to March Town Hall, where the flag of St George had been erected early in the morning.

It has difficulty in "flying" as it is protected from wind by the Town Hall which, as some may realise, is quite a tall building.

Nevertheless it was there.

I really cannot be bothered to respond to two of the letters on the "state" of March as, apart from being under a misapprehension, they couldn't include their names.

Crime is a serious issue, treated seriously, but so often there are situations which, whilst morally unacceptable and the height of bad manners, do not constitute a crime.

I'm interested to know which part of the river bank produced the alleged debris as two of your councillors regularly litter pick the river banks, and have done so for the past three months.

There! I said I would not respond to anonymous letters... whoops.

Coun Kit Owen,
March.



FURTHER to your correspondence regarding St George's Day, we in UKIP do not forget.

Tom Wise MEP addressed a full house at the annual St George's Day dinner held at the Three Tuns in Doddington.

There was also a full day party on the actual day, April 23, also well attended.

We are the fastest growing political party in the country and now the fourth party in the country, and locally a well-known force.

It's about time local and national media realised that the British people do not want the EU and started looking into that fact because, very soon, St George's Day will be just another English tradition swept aside by the ever-encroaching EU.

I am also proud to be English, and fly the St George's flag in my garden (Public Platform, April 30).

However, when filling in official forms I am: White / Other / English.
