I BEGAN to read the hysterical rant of Ben Hughes (BNP leaflet is packed full of lies, (LET, March 1) in which he actually accused a political party of telling lies.

Pass the smelling salts before I faint with shock!

Initially, I found it quite laughable until I realised he was a teacher.

Then it became scary.

Am I alone in finding it ironic that someone in charge of children, who has such trenchant views is busily denying that 'brainwashing' is happening in schools
