RE: Steve Bell’s Cartoon of Minister Priti Patel
(4 March 2020, 19:42 GMT), <https://tinyurl.com/rzwac3o>.
Dear Letters
Editor,
I am a long-time
reader of your newspaper. I even had a letter published in 2019. I am untroubled by
strong writing and strong views. That said, Bell’s most recent cartoon strikes
me as racism—straight up. In this situation, I can no longer buy your paper. That
said—I think you should remain free to publish what you want. Should you come
to your senses and a sense of decency, let me know, and I will consider buying
your paper again in the future.
Only wishing you well,
/s/
