Taking sides

Sir: As the BBC camera panned its way around the audience at Mr Heath's harangue in Trafalgar Square who can have failed to observe, apart from his grim-faced co-speaker, Mr Prentice, the banner triumphantly displaying the words "British Communists for Europe." For those anti-Marketeers facing the oft-repeated lie,' that we are promulgating the Marxist cause here is a little short sharp and effective ammunition.

Mr English in your issue of May exposed the matter in more detail in his left-wing analysis. Where would we all be without the encouragement of your excellent weekly. R. G. Pegier. Costards, West Lavington, Midhurst, Sussex
