From Mr David Simpson Sin I read John Major's article
with interest, which I thought was an excellent analysis of recent Tory history, until our former PM felt it necessary to support his friend Ken Clarke, when his arguments pro and anti the two candidates seemed pathetically weak. I take one example: 'Nor, other than the fact that he is rightwing and Eurosceptical, are his views known.' Has Mr Major read the manifestos helpfully supplied with our ballot papers for the election? fain Duncan Smith's policies for health, education, welfare, crime and the continuance of our ability to decide for ourselves are all clearly and succinctly laid out — rather better than the set of policies we were asked to approve before the last election, By contrast Ken Clarke's manifesto says nothing of substance about any policy area, although he uses a lot more print to say it.

From B.A. Johnson Sir: I see that John Major still does a wonderful Kenneth Williams impersonation: 'Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me.'
