Sir: I was under the impression that pornog- raphy was
freely available in specialised magazines for those attracted to such mate- rial but on 11 November you carried an arti- cle (Not quite Cinderella's ball') about sado-masochism and on 18 November you had an• article by David Starkey about the crutches and buttocks of homosexuals. For all I know some readers of The Spectator may have a taste for this sort of thing but surely you can leave them to satisfy it else- where. Rather worse, on page 68 you have `Do you believe in the puppeteer?' an unpleasant cartoon of the Queen (and the Prime Minister, but I suppose he is fair game) with a scurrilous caption.
