The right of reply
Sir: Interesting that the unamiable Mr Amis rushes to admit that he has published statements intended to be damaging in your pages and since it is me alone, that he is cry- ing in his porridge about, in that 'Right to reply' article of his (23 January) I trust it is ox for 'the thickest student' ever in Swansea University, who actually wasted time interviewing him in the Sun- day Telegraph, now to have the right of reply too? Since some 20,000 of us have gone through Swansea University in Amis's time, by calling me 'the thickest' he is as he says, 'saying something indeed'. But Amis is the gay Londoner who when he came down here described all us Welsh as 'slathered in woad and sheepshit' . . . but then we Welsh have always had the teachers we deserve. And why should we be surprised by anything this person says who has now sunk to his pro- per level masquerading as the con- cocter of crypto-fascist fake James Bond tee yarns? Amis will shortly have a chance to read what we thought about him down at Swansea University in my own book titled The Rag Parade most appropriately enough.
