Letters: Vietnam War Protest and Police Clash Recalled in Grosvenor Square
Letters: Vietnam War Protest and Police Clash Recalled in Grosvenor Square

A reader recalls covering a Vietnam War demonstration in Grosvenor Square in 1968, noting the presence of police and protesters. The letter, published in response to an article about the super-rich taking over the US embassy, describes the reporter dipping in and out of the procession to gather quotes. A man approached and asked if the reporter was from Special Branch.

Another reader corrects a previous letter about the Wombles, stating they live on Wimbledon Common, not Wimbledon Park.

Further letters criticise Nigel Farage's proposal to spend over £17bn to halve UK crime, with one reader suggesting Reform UK has found a 'magic money tree'. Another trusts that Farage's crackdown would include locking up far-right thugs involved in anti-immigrant riots.

A final letter expresses distress at a photograph from Gaza, calling for a cooperative international response and questioning if another Band Aid is needed.
