Neither cold nor hot

Sir: Following the Crosby result, we have had to endure the equally predictable comments on the SDP from Mr Heath — still possessed of his unforgiving spirit, and repeating his Messianic Message of willingness to serve 'his' country. Perhaps Edward of Bexley, and his other sainted supporters, might do well to mark, read, learn and inwardly digest verses 15 and 16 in the third chapter of the book of Revelation (the ones about being neither cold nor hot, but lukewarm).
