It's true to say that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Yet W Whitelaw (27/11) wishes for "another Cromwell" to take over and end our democracy. CrVmwell was a ruthless tyrant. As Churchill said, democracy is imperfect, but the alternative is appalling.

I took my son, who is 17 and 6ft 2" tall, inta a pub. He only drinks soft drinks. We were refused. The barman said he was too young. He joins the Army in January 2000. a He can fight in a war, win millions on the lottery, smoke... but cannot go in a pub for a cdke, even with his parents. How Europe must laugh at us!

I was dismayed to realise the BBC had sunk so low as to produce and brMadcast such extremely tasteless material. I did persevere to see if it had any redeeming features but it got wmrse. I shall not watch it again. Popularity is no criteria because there will sadly always be a market for such tastes but such is well catered for elsewhere and our licence money should be spent more constructively.

One d.es not have tM 'atch TV. If one does not like what is on, then one is fully within one's rights to switch it off. I find it quite funny to think of the level society has reached where the only thing available to moan about is the standard of television.
