Good guy, bad guy
From Mrs M.K Fowler
Sir: I was very sorry to read that the BBC has dispensed with Boris Johnson's services as presenter of the programme The Week in Westminster (Another Voice, 9 October).
My father — Major Guy Lloyd, MP Con., as he then was — presented the same pro- gramme in about 1949. His boss was Guy Burgess.
After working under him for some time, my father told Lord Reith that he was con- vinced that Guy Burgess was not just a rag- ing queer, but also a communist of the deepest dye — political correctness had not been invented at that time — and that Lord Reith must choose between Burgess and Guy Lloyd.
Needless to say, Guy Burgess kept his job. 'Plus ga change'.
