Fayed's mistake
From Mr Matthew J. Steeples Sir: A reading of Boris Johnson's interview ('Why Gaddafi is a better man than Blair', 13 May) surely would convince all 'those ordinary people' who continue to support Mr Fayed as to why he should never receive a British passport.
Mr Fayed's backing of Colonel Gaddafi, his suggestion that Prince Philip, MI5 and MI6 colluded to kill Diana and Dodi, and his assertion that Tony Blair might have `boyfriends or is himself bisexual' simply serve to highlight how ridiculous this char- acter really is. Mr Fayed may well believe that 'no one has the right to criticise' him, but Boris Johnson is quite right to highlight that what he says is 'frequently profane and slightly honkers'.
If Mr Fayed believes he can buy the sup- port of the British public through appear- ances on Da Ali G Show, donations to charity and a warehouse full of sympathetic letters, he is very much mistaken. Mr Fayed's analy- sis that the establishment will never accept him is correct, but he must also realise that many 'ordinary' people agree with them.
