David Aaronovitch

Unpublished letter to The Observer (otherwise known as the Liberal Bomber) on May the 8th. David Aaronovitch wrote a column entitled `If the PM's really listening, he'll go'.

Dear Editor,

Congratulations to David Aaronovitch on his very funny column (8th May). He tells us about the fat bloke in the stand at the football match who knows nothing but who is always shouting ignorant advice at the manager. Only on this one occasion, Mr Aaronovitch says, the fat bloke has got it right - Blair must go. Does it not occur at all to Mr Aaronovitch that he is the fat bloke he is writing about? His columns are nothing but ignorant shouting - at all of us rather than the manager - but just for once in his life `fat bloke' is right, Tony Blair must indeed go. Congratulations to Mr Aaronovitch on being right for once. Is there any chance at all that he might go at the same time so that we no longer have to listen to his ravings?

Yours faithfully,

The Grouch.
