TAPER SIR,—The proceedings in the House of Commons during the
debate on the 'Parker Tribunal Report were doubtless vulgar and unedifying, but your political commentator from his perch above the melee should not have come down for a roll in the gutter himself. Taper should never have descended to 'little greaser,' and I hope he will consider the more moderate, subdued and circumspect utterances on the subject of parliamentary privilege uttered on the BBC on' Friday evening by his confrere Mr. Levin, who is as mild on the air as Taper is bitter in print.
St. Athan, Glamorgan
[Taper writes : 'After an interval for calm reflection I have come to the conclusion that Mr. Gibson is right. I should never have descended to "little greaser," and apologise to Mr. Wilson for using such an undignified expression about him. I trust Mr. Wilson will follow suit with an apology to Mr. Oliver Poole.'—Editor, Spectator.]
