SIR - Nigel Williams is a brave man to defend those women on their barge, but why should he risk his life because our decadent media are allowed to corrupt British young people with relentless portrayals of cynicism, brutality, sexploitation and so on?

A Martian would recoil from contact with the human race if he was using our TV and film output to judge us by. I can understand why many Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs are in no hurry to integrate into our British apology for a 'culture.'

There seems no escape from the corrupting influence of global media moguls whose power to destroy individual politicians (and even governments) grows as British people take their value attitudes, behaviour and political opinions from what they see before them on "the box".

Life in Worcester gets more like EastEnders everyday.
