Sir: Your strictures on Mr Heath (March 9) are if
anything an understatement but one phoenix has arisen from the ashes of his incendiary orgy and that is the renewed right of the British people to determine their own future. The most monstrous statement ever made by a British prime minister was Heath's pronouncement after the Brussels betrayal that "Now the British people know what their future is to be they can set .about adjusting themselves accordingly." He now knows, albeit at hideous cost to the nation, that British governments are elected to govern only in accordance with their mandate and our laws and customs. ' The terrible dangers of this man were surely underlined by the squalid manoeuvres for retaining power, wantonly pursued at grave risk of embroiling the Crown in politics.
