Nutty slack
Sir: I am not costive, nor am I a mean Christian (Julie Burchill's Diary 5 Octo- ber). As one who has bought so many copies of The Spectator over the years, I regard myself as near to being a major shareholder in your publication. Your choice of Miss Burchill as diarist is a stroke of genius. She made me cry with delight at the power of her pen. May I suggest that when 'Our Jeff' (whom may God preserve) meets the Great Editor in the Sky, that she should be given his column? With what must be the sharpest sword currently wield- ed, she has cut down to size a variety of persons deserving of that fate. If she does not increase the circulation of your organ with her brilliant sense of humour, then I shall buy a year's subscription to Readers Digest. How did a person so young as Miss Burchill know about nutty slack?
