Letter: A blow against tabloid cant

Sir: Polly Toynbee's exposure of how the Daily Mail "digs its dirt" is to be applauded (6 June). Those of us less well known than Ms Toynbee but who have nevertheless been subjected to the tyranny of long- lens cameras on the garden wall and the interrogation and sometimes doorstepping of friends, neighbours, family and ex-husbands welcome her attempt to bring the Mail's scurrilous methods of journalism into the public domain.
