Mr Heath

Sir: John Grigg (18 March) must be looking through National 'Heath' coloured spectacles. Translate 'stubborn' for 'brave' and 'myopic' for 'far-sighted'. He may be respected throughout the world but not by many friends of this country unless you include Communist China, whose other favoured Western politician was Richard Nixon. As for Mr Heath's projected reply to Mrs Thatcher's fawning invitation in John Grigg's Tea for Two scenario, it would be 'Yes, I'll serve, but it will be my tea from my pot.'
