Palestine Action ban is a gift for Nigel Farage | Brief letters

Protest group proscription | Economic outlook | Keyboard strokes | Broken English | Narrowboat travel

Re your editorial on the Palestine Action proscription (15 September), this is a “First they came for the communists” moment. If a Labour government can successfully proscribe a non-violent protest group, a Farage government would be utterly ruthless against those with which it disagrees. Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Extinction Rebellion and many others would be at risk.

• The TUC general secretary asks for interest rates to be cut to ease inflationary pressure (Report, 17 September), while the US Federal Reserve is fearful that lower rates will cause prices to rise (Report, 17 September). What was that about six economists, seven opinions?
