My letter to the Telegraph on sock puppeteering does appear in today’s edition. I’m glad I posted the full version, since they chose to emasculate it by deleting all the best bits. In the dim and distant past, when I was an editor, we never did that, but published readers views as expressed, if we judged them worthy of a burgh-wide audience. Okay, we might have corrected the odd spelling error, and omitted the customary Motherwell sign-off, ‘Yours, and oblige,’ but that was all.
