Letter: Perceptions of a new look

Sir: A few months ago you published a powerful leading article in the Independent on Sunday under the headline 'Listen to the anger'. In it you condemned politicians who seem to be encased in medieval armour, impervious to criticism or even the possiblity that they might be wrong.

I hope you will listen to the frustration and disappointment of your loyal and committed readers when we say you have made a cock-up. You have replaced the clearest, freshest, most readable layout of any modern newspaper with a dated, unreadable format that does exactly what you accused government ministers of doing: patronising and insulting our intelligence.

In true dismay,
