Letter: BBC's reputation for truth deserves a better guardian

TWO ABLE women lawyers in the United States engaged cheap labour to look after their children: they were not considered fit for a responsible government job. A clever man in Britain engaged an unnamed secretary to avoid paying tax: the Establishment rallied round and saved him.

The two rafts that kept the Establishment afloat have outlived their usefulness: the political party system is in crisis; the limited liability company has become an instrument for fraud. When the Independent on Sunday hits the tip of the iceberg of moral decline, it is labelled a crazy newspaper.
