Sir, – I was incensed to read that two Liberal Democrat Councillors had been disciplined and banned from standing as Lib Dems in next year's Farnham Town Council elections.

I find it quite incredible and totally unacceptable that such action should be taken by anypolitical party against two people who, in a democracy, were simply doing the "honourable thing".

If the 11 petty and cowardly Lib Dem councillors who took this quite outrageous decision refuse to identify themselves, I would strongly suggest that voters boycott the whole party at the next elections as they are clearly putting party consideration ahead of the community they were elected to serve.
