Isis and politics

Sir: There is a factual error in Nicholas Budgen's article (The politics of the clas- sroom', 2 May) which I am sure you would wish to correct.

He states that I was asked at a public meeting how I voted and that I replied that I voted for the Alliance. I was not asked that question and I did not make that answer. The inference on which Mr Budgen proceeded to draw does not there- fore exist.
