From Mrs Ann Farmer SIR – The MP Martin Salter is to be severely censured for describing the Pope, in his blog, as a “bloke in a dress” (Report, February 12).
This language is entirely unacceptable in this day and age, and it is not surprising that he will be standing down at the next election. Surely there is no place in modern politics for anyone who makes derogatory comments about blokes in dresses.
Yours faithfully, ANN FARMER (blokess in trousers) Woodford Green, Essex
