Letter: Straw not so daft

Sir: Jack Straw said people should consider questioning folk who were behaving anti-socially. He did not suggest people should "take the law into their own hands", or that they should be "bossing everyone about and marching people they do not like the look of down to the police station" (leading article, 19 February).

I am not a member of the Labour Party, but I am a member of the human race. Do you really think I should ignore bad behaviour in my town? I might be too frightened always to act, but I don't consider it daft to think that sometimes I should.
