Bevanite Broadcasting
Sm,—I hope Mr. J. H. Thomas was not complaining that so-called Bevanites had taken part in certain broadcasts; as a constant listener, I have found their lively participation very satisfactory, for they are, on the Whole, better broadcasters than most of their- Right Wing colleagues. Besides, I like hearing minority views—particularly since I am, alas, too often of the minorities myself.'
Indeed, we do not hear enough minority "views on any of the major subjects. In politics, as -a Liberal, I look with suspicion 'on the way we have developed our two-party system, which seems to have worked out into a convenient " carve-up." It may be expedient for the Big Two to regard minorities as disloyal interlopers and trouble-makers, but it is a departure from the idea of democracy as we profess to practise it in Great Britain. The bi-partisan foreign policy and the bi-partisan attitude towards electoral reform are typical of this cynical
disregard for minorities.—Yours faithfully, ADRIAN BRUNEL. First House, Gerrards C-ross.
