Letter: Dressed for success

Sir: Where's your sense of wickedness? It would have been much more fun not to explain in Monday's front-page picture caption why the Conservative MP John Marshall was walking through Battersea Park dressed as Little Bo-Peep.

Credit to him for humiliating himself like that to raise pounds 200 for kidney research. But wouldn't it have been less embarrassing to lobby his own government to fund better the organisations which conduct research into serious illnesses?

Yours faithfully,
