IF Mr Adam (Letters, September 3) re-reads my letter of August 6, he will see that it did not contain any political content. My criticism was directed at the postal service and would have been the same whatever government was in power.
He can rest assured that my conscience is clear concerning for whom I vote. It is a decision which I have always believed to be known only to me. Even my wife doesn't know where my cross goes, nor I hers. This cherished, democratic freedom for which, more than 60 years ago, I saw good men suffer and die, must be preserved.
I sincerely hope that Mr Adam's allusions to my voting record and its length were merely shots in the dark. Otherwise, like S. Maders, who I don't know, I would be as concerned as I would if our freedom to write to a free press and other media was censored by politicians of any persuasion, or removed altogether.
CEEAITCH,
Prestwich.
