THE Bishop of Worcester's Christmas Sermon which talked of "using the ploy of terror and fear to create indefensible conditions" is worth echoing.

There is indefinite detention without charge on trial - is Habeas a now dead Corpus?

And with the imposed imposition of totally unnecessary identity cards, it would appear that although 1984 has gone, we are approaching a Hitler/Stalinist state of total control. Beware - you have been warned.

ROGER MARTIN, Badsey, Evesham.
