Off her chest
Sir: How can James Buchan in one and the same sentence speak of the barbarians' attack upon the Queen's English and of 'the Duchess of York's bosoms' (We have changed, not the Queen', 29 May)? (I pre- sume this vulgarism is deliberate and not just a misprint, though one never knows nowadays.) Not even royal personages have more than one bosom each, and jealous mobs have often been anxious to deprive them even of that.
On one point, however, Mr Buchan is certainly correct: the Queen has been insulted. Why the legal gentlemen of Eng- land did not rise up to avenge the outra- geous and surely unlawful conduct of the disgusting media persons who have lately been making her life a misery, it is impossi- ble for honest citizens to understand. The law is proved both an ass and a cow- ard, and we are ruled by the Maxwells and Murdochs of this world, God save us all.
