Letter: Exit Sir Ian

Sir: I am a middle-class, middle-aged, white Irishman who was a visitor to London recently. I queued for over two hours for tickets at the Royal National Theatre. I can assure Sir Ian McKellen that I speak and understand English and that I actually appreciated what I saw on stage. For over 25 years I have enjoyed visiting London and its theatres. Sir Ian is biting the hands that feed him.
