Bye-bye Bill

Sir: As my letters seem only to illicit evasion, malice and crude personal attacks and my questions about the numerous poor in this country go unanswered I shall cease them forthwith.

I suppose it was a bit stupid of me to expect compassion and the courage to stand up the barons that run this country amongst Spectator readers, their kind got us in this mess to start with!

Goodbye and see you at the barricades
