Gulag Capricorn?

Sir: Forgive the delayed response to your correspondent, Mr Newman of St Albans, but arrival of your publication was delayed because the postman's forked stick broke. Mr Newman fails to comment on the ruthlessness of Mr Ian Smith, who has his stooge-released-criminal-fake-terrorists executed for their crimes. He also underrates the cunning of Mr Ian Smith, who is in secret league with Fidel Castro and Idi Amin to share out Africa between them.

He should know that behind the reports he hears, there is a truth even more startling. Does he believe what Mr David Ennals says, when it is clear that both Mr Ennals and Mr Smith are together confirmed believers in minority.government in their respective countries? What is the link between Reykjavik and the IRA, and who is organising the guerrilla army in Kirkcudbright which threatens North Sea oil?

For a relatively few Swiss francs, Mr Newman can identify facts from fiction by financing my proposed new 'reveal all' novel Gulag Capricorn.
