   He mentioned it in last week's column but only mentioned letters supporting   
   his campaign.

   Cheers, Selene. I feel he became particularly ludicrous when he suggested   
   that swear words be insterted into books from the past - I mean COME OFF IT,   
   PETE! By the way, my old man said that where he was in Lambeth, south   
   London, during the 40s and 50s there were 'loads of black dogs called   
   nigger' and was surprised that anyone might think it an uncommon name. I   
   feel for Hitchens in his revulsion at all the peurility and PC hypocrisy but   
   I simply don't think acting like someone out of the pages of Trollope will   
   cut any ice with the spiv/commissars. You need to box more cleverly than   
   that.
