IWONDER whether Mr John Farrar's brain does boggle, as he says at the conclusion of his letter. Or does it overheat as the emotional outburst he wrote (Letters, June 13) seems to indicate.

None of Tony Blair's cabinet is really at loggerheads, except in the imagination of the papers.

Sincerity about the state of the country and it's future often brings disagreements, though it doesn't appear to be that way with John Major's gallant band of brothers.

Since the letter contained heavy sarcasm about leading Labour personalities, let's look at the Conservatives whom Mr Farrar seems to favour.

Take Brian 'doctor death' Mawhinney whose messages of hope to his troops look similar to a raid on a privatised blood bank by Count Dracula, with a similar draining and tiring effect.

As for the rest of them, they resemble members of Fred Karno's circus all upside down and thoroughly disorganised.

Incidentally Mr Farrar, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit and judging by the contents of your letter it is a wit that you don't seem to possess.
