I DO not usually write to newspapers but when I read the letter in the Guardian that attacked Brian Simpson, I felt I had to respond.

Whatever Mr Simpson's political views are it does not give anyone the right to personally attack him.

It's not Mr Simpson's fault that the system is the way it is and I for one am grateful that at least somebody from Warrington will be representing us in the important chamber that is the European Parliament.

Good luck Britain.
