LETTER FROM BRITAIN

As I sit down to write this, a national newspaperwoman is taking her turn on TV’s What The Papers Say.

Basically it exists for something rather sinister: to explain the real meaning behind what obtuse Joe Public has heard and seen.

The idea it all boils down to at bottom is a staunch belief that you or 1 or George O’Dowd’s Dad could never spontaneously doubt anything we’re shown.
