Radio crimes

From Mr John Hart Sir: I have never listened to Premier Christian Radio, and probably never shall, but having read Dr Colin Nicholl's article (Tor Christ's sake', 24 November) and what Mr Tony Stoller apparently regards as a reply to it (Letters, 8 December), I find myself very much in sympathy with the former. 'The Radio Authority,' says Mr Stoller, 'does not attempt to distinguish between "professional" and other complainants.' Well, it damn well ought to. If Mr Stoller cannot, or will not, differentiate between the merits of a complaint from an ordinary listener and one from a pressure group with a highly specific agenda, he's got no business to be drawing his salary.
