Dear Editor

Excellent and interesting as I found the article, it is the comment quoted of Paul Dacre, editor of the Daily Mail, that got my strongest reaction. He referred to Max Mosley’s “unimaginable sexual depravity”, (S/M) and argued that it was the duty of the press to uphold the nation’s morality. For a man in such an influential position in forming public opinion, or at least in underpinning it, to be so lacking in understanding of the complexity and range of variety of human beings is pretty appalling. A person’s sexual peccadilloes, of whatever strangeness to those who have none, or who have other ones, need in no way interfere with their being splendid citizens, workers, neighbours, or friends. Their peculiarities are really of proper concern only to their intimates. I don’t like Mr Dacre. He leads lynch mobs..

Yours sincerely.

Peter Zander.
