I wonder if any other person who reads your paper resents the fact that the Government has just dictated that we will vote for a police commissioner.

What has happened to the 'democracy' that the Government is so busy promoting abroad?

I was not asked if I wanted my police force dictated to by unheard-of people, being paid enough to train at least two more officers for Dartmouth.

I suppose when I first met a young, black-uniformed, civil enforcement officer in Duke Street, I should have seen this situation coming.

So, for the first time, I shall vote for the UK Independence Party, trusting it will defend British independence and fight for the return to democracy.
