May I congratulate Bernard Hallas on his adventure (Hero’s great escape, The Press, May 20). It’s great to know we still have men in England with a backbone.

We all should thank Mr Hallas and others like him for saving Britain.

The same can’t be said for our Government, who have a yellow streak and not one bit of backbone, allowing our country to be taken over by the same people Mr Hallas and others fought against.

Mr Wardell, Malton Road, York.
