I’m aware that nothing will change - but I felt that something needed to be said in the columns of the Thunderer.

Of course, with all the extraordinary news that’s around just now, it might not appear. But I’m hopeful.

'The Times' has the same owners as 'The Sun' which excels in 'sensationalising' stories so maybe you should send it to them too. As you say, 'The Times' will probably 'bin' it in favour of some MP fiddling their expenses.
