Nauseated

Sir: That I should contemplate the cancellation of my subscription to The Spectator after reading some 2,500 issues would indicate either that something has gone wrong with my appreciation or with your presentation. I think the latter.

Objective criticism even if at variance with one's own assessment is stimulating. Your editorial vendetta with the Prime Minister does not fall into this category. The repetitive bias has become nauseating.
