LETTER: Congratulation inappropriate
I am sure that Mrs Ansell must be aware of the lies, the xenophobia, racism and misogyny that were some of the hallmarks of Mr Trump’s campaign, also his absurd characterisation of man-made climate change as a ‘Chinese hoax’ and the vitriolic abuse that he hurled at his Democratic party opponent throughout.
Most of us (including many who voted for Mrs Ansell to be our MP) will sleep less easily in our beds in the knowledge that Mr Trump will be in office in less than two months’ time and that his finger could potentially be on the nuclear button.
