While I tend to agree that the coffin effigy was perhaps a bit extreme, There is no place for coffins in a kinder, gentler politics, December 15, I think MP?Sarah Wollaston should be more upset and offended by being a member of a governing party that has destroyed the education system; trashed social care and mental health services; prejudiced the future of the country by trying to appease its most rabid right-wing; and is privatising the NHS by stealth.

Personally, I find all of that deeply offensive and upsetting, and I know that it’s their intention.
