I WAS so disappointed to see the front page of the Messenger (December 5).

I felt ashamed for the disgraceful way Sale was portrayed as so unwelcoming and selfish towards the asylum seekers to be housed at the Amblehurst Hotel. How awful and unwanted must those poor families feel – what an example our council leaders are setting for our children.

Will those councillors be attending church services this Christmas?

Will they be enjoying time with their families?

How can they be so cruel? Not in my name!
