Mr Avenell, in his letter ‘Visit Specsavers’ of September 12, in reply to an excellent letter from Pete Smith, says he never made derogatory remarks on would-be asylum seekers at Calais in his letter of August 30, ‘Mark sickens me’.

Okay Mr Avenell, you may not have written any derogatory comments but you said in your letter of August 30 what a splendid letter HG Smith wrote and you fully agree with his thoughts. Bearing in mind how HG Smith described certain human beings, and you agreeing with him, tells me everything about your views on certain sections of society.
