Letter: Junk mail from John Major

Sir: We were incensed by the presumption in a letter we have received from John Major that we are shareholders in a privatised company. We are not. We were briefly, from curiosity, some 10 years ago, but opted out at the first whiff of a "fat cat" nibbling, nay devouring, Sid's investment return.

The Prime Minister's letter tells us at length his "vision" of what Labour will do when it returns to power. We do not need his view of this; we can make our own judgement. Negative campaigning for the forthcoming general election is fast becoming, from both sides, the hugely patronising slight that it was in the last.
