Letter: Equality issues

IN LIBYA we chose the side of the "rebels" and we are becoming more actively involved in what is seen by many others as a civil war, but this is consistent with our principles of supporting democratic change over recognised tyranny.

So why then would invitations to the Royal Wedding be sent to Jordan, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, amongst others, all repressive regimes with a history of persecution against their own people?

Will David Cameron and Ed Miliband be able to enjoy idle chat with such, over the canapes and champagne, and will any such conversation be steered towards human rights or greater equality?
