Letters: Briefly

I WAS disappointed to read in last Sunday's leader column that, according to Westminster gossip, Glenda Jackson will never be Mayor of London because she isn't glamorous enough. As a writer on the Big Issue magazine I have crossed paths with Ms Jackson on a number of occasions and can honestly say that, with or without make-up, she's the sexiest woman I've ever met.

PERHAPS your film critic could in future concentrate on reviewing the merits of the film, rather than making tasteless comments on the physical attributes of its stars. His remarks about Kate Winslet and Leonardo deCaprio in last week's review of Titanic would have been more at home in the gutter press.
