Thatcher’s troubles

From Mr David F. Russell
The Times
From Mr David F. Russell
The Times

Sir, It seems rather hard on Sir Mark Thatcher that he should be faced with 15 years in jail (report, August 26) if found guilty of supporting an alleged attempt to overthrow the vicious dictator of an oil-rich country who terrorises his people. Perhaps he should have sought advice from our Prime Minister on how best to proceed.

Yours faithfully,

DAVID RUSSELL,

4 Hyde House Gardens,

Winchester SO23 7EL.
