SIR I hope the proposals the government has for the new terrorism law do not happen as it would affect other groups such as Fathers for Justice and animal rights activists.

Mistakes can be made. For instance, after all this time, the police still appear to be no nearer to solving the mystery of what (if anything) happened to the body of Gladys Hammond, the relative of the Hall family at the notorious Newchurch guinea pig breeding farm.

Someone may (or may not) have dug her out of her grave. The people concerned may (or may not) have been involved in animal rights.

Equally, they could have been satanists, then again, maybe Gladys Hammond is still in her grave.

We have no way of knowing.

Experts, according to the press, have said that it would have taken six people all night to dig her up. Those six people would, allegedly, have been in full view of residents whose rooms overlook the graveyard.

Somehow, nobody looked out on the night concerned, and nobody heard the noise that this incident would have caused.

Yet everybody heard the noises from the tent that the police promptly put up over the grave, before cordoning off the area.

The grave has since been filled' (assuming it was ever dug up in the first place) and anyone who wants to check what is down there stands a fair chance of getting arrested.

It would be interesting to see what would happen to a journalist who turned up with sonar equipment.
