A strong element of Bulldog spirit

I note with amusement that Dr Walsh (Gazette letters, May 9) ascribes the prominence of UKIP in the recent local elections to the publicity given to UKIP by the Daily Mail.

Personally, I like to think that there is strong element of the John Bull and Bulldog breed spirit alive in West Sussex – especially within the elders amongst us, and my comrades in the Royal British Legion, who are fed up with having the expensive German jackboot on our necks, with the support of cowardly Cameron.

The supremacy and sovereignty of our Parliament and realm are too important to dismiss with contempt.
