WHILE I am sympathetic to Anne Snelgrove’s views on having our troops in Afghanistan what I cannot understand is why she is not shouting from the roof tops for them to be supplied with the right equipment to do the job.

She is close enough to Mr Brown so it should not be difficult. But like the Post Office closures all we ever get are words not action.

The day cannot come soon enough when we can say goodbye to our MP for South Swindon and replace her with someone who is willing to get things done.

His name is Robert Buckland.
