I READ with amazement the article "Chubby Brown concert uproar", (The Bolton News, June 26). I say to Mr Nick Brooks-Sykes - if you don't like Chubby then don't go and see him!

Why should people like him, and the council, come to think of it, decide what does and does not appear at the Albert Halls? I do not agree with the contents of Chubby's show, but, then again, I have not brought a ticket.

The Albert Halls is a commercial venue and the business managers who book the acts at the Albert Halls do so because they want to sell as many tickets as possible for popular shows. The fact that he has booked for three nights and he has performed many times over the past few years shows his popularity. Why, all of a sudden, should he now be banned?

The article sums up what is wrong in this country. The politically correct minority trying to tell the majority what they should and should not do and what we should and should not see. I assume there is nothing illegal in the show, or else the police would have taken the necessary action.

Get off your high horse and let the people that wish to see Mr Brown do so without being branded "intolerant". You know nothing about these people, and your assumptions are out of order.

His claim that by allowing this act to perform at the Albert Halls, implies the council's tacit support for the comedian's views, is utter nonsense. The council does hold aspirations to be inclusive of all within the borough, and that includes those that wish to see Mr Brown's show. By banning it, would that not exclude them?

What happened to freedom of choice in this country!
