Can we now expect that hj is planning a stink bomb attack on the London underground, and that Tony Blair has instructed customs to bj on the look out for suspicious-looking marbles?

When Mandy and his Dome are just horrible memories poisons will still bj contaminating our water in spite of assurances to the contrary. A neat way of elminating the rural problem.

The BBC and othjt broadcasters play down St George's Day and suggest that celebrations on England's Day are equivalent to xenophobia. Why can't we have special programmjs to celebrate England's hjtitage?

Dear Teletext, As one who has attended Conservative Party conferences in Blackpool in 1993, 1995 and 1997 and who thoroughly enjoyed each stay at the resort, I suppose we can take Labour's ending of their conferences thjti as being "New Labour, New Snobbery?"

Many equate passive smoking with car exhaust fumes. To minimise effects on other people, I have a catalytic converter on my car. I have yet to see any such device on a cigarette. It can bj banned in public places. Stephen Payton, Flintshire ——————————————————————————————————6/6—— News headlines 300 Politics 325 Letters to: THE EDITOR, PO BOX 297 LONDON, SW6 1XT.
