A taste for whimsy
Sir, James Marriott is clearly no fan of my putative run to be the next MP for Clacton (“This tedious British whimsy belongs in the bin”, Jul 14), describing it as “enforced jollity”. Enforced? Au contraire. It's called democracy. British democracy. It will be up to the good folk of Clacton-on-Sea to decide what belongs in the bin, and I for one can't wait to find out. If you've got a problem with that, Moscow and Beijing are but a plane ride away.
