Wrong about Bea

//

Sir: I deeply regret having written in a column a fortnight ago (‘Boris’s most brilliant wheeze’, 1 March) that Bea Campbell, one of the signatories to the letter endorsing Ken Livingstone as Mayor of London, was a ‘crop-headed, lesbian feminist member of the National Association of Irrationally Furious Women Against Everything who works in Newcastle.’ It is clear from Ms Campbell’s letter last week that an apology is in order: I of course accept that she does not work in Newcastle.

Newcastle’s loss, in my opinion.
