TEENAGE TROTS

An Independent reader is irritated by the on-going correspondence over Jack Straw's past:

"It's interesting to note that nobody in this exchange seems to be bothered by the fact that they are discussing the most horrific belief system in history, an ideology that has brought death to tens of millions and suffering to hundreds of millions more.
Were a Conservative MP to confess to any youthful flirtation with fascism, it would instantly (and rightly) spell the end of his career. It says something about the left that the same abhorrence of extremism does not apply in all parts of the political spectrum."
ALEX SWANSON Milton Keynes
