I THOUGHT your readers may like to know about one piece of New Labour hypocrisy that beggars belief.

New Labour flatly denied the British Olympic Pistol Shooting team the right to practise (under supervision) in this country, reducing them to trips to France when funds permitted.

With IRA and Loyalist murderers and maimers walking freely without handing in so much as one single bullet, the nauseating hypocrisy is plain to see!

I wrote to Sports Minister Kate Hoey some months ago, but she was obviously far too busy to bother replying.

P Watson,
