Letter: Not everyone backs Blair

Sir: Am I the only so-called 'southerner' who feels insulted by the assumption that I will vote for the Labour Party if its chosen leader is the one with the right education and a nice accent. A suspicion, confirmed by Monday's Panorama debate, is that the man is without substance. He confuses policy objectives which, as articulated by him, could scarcely be objected to by anyone in the Western world, with policy actions - the statement of which he avoids at all costs.

Yours faithfully,
