I AM sure that most of your readers will be aware that last Saturday the distribution of national newspapers was badly disrupted by the actions of Extinction Rebellion.

One of the pillars of our democracy is the freedom of the Press and yet the actions of this group were applauded by Labour MP Dawn Butler.

Last year one of your contributors to these pages,Philip Griffiths, stated that he supported this movement.

I wonder if he still does? He also stated that he was going to vote Labour in the December General Election.

That didn’t turn out too well did it?
