Dear Ms D
Thank you for getting in touch. I am sorry you disapproved of Rod Liddle's column on Sunday. We do not believe it was racist in any sense: it was expressing a legitimate view about immigration levels, and it received hundreds of messages of support from our readers online.
As for the writing style, I would point out that, having the luxury of space, The Sunday Times has a wide range of columnists and critics across the sections. I hope that some of those are more to your taste.
I have ensured that the editors responsible are aware of your comments. Their choices are constantly influenced by the feedback we receive from readers, so we're grateful for your views.
Best regards
Stephen Bleach
Letters editor (acting)

These are the people that Liddle loathes so much

"Around 139,000 out of 1.2 million staff report a non-British nationality. This is 12.5% of all staff for whom a nationality is known, or one in every eight."

Rod Liddle thinks that the 3 nations + Ireland (!) will all be rooting for England, how sweet. He’s a very lost boy, isn’t he? He’s become desperately desperate, he just doesn’t know what contrarian bollocks to write these days to get noticed.

"[...] football fans in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast and Dublin will be rooting for us as the only representatives of these isles."
Well, not the Scots, Welsh & Irish I know in the North East, and certainly not the few Northern Irish people I know in Yorkshire, that’s for sure.
I like that bit underneath:
Rod Liddle says he was sent to bed during the 1966 World Cup final before extra time. That match kicked off at 3pm. So he was sent to bed at 4.45pm. Rod’s parents must have enjoyed his company as much as a significant proportion of your readership does every Sunday.

He probably has some kind of 'PC outrage generator' thing that he presses, a bit like the old DM headline generator, and does it purely for the Trolololols.Last edited by Kevin S; 08-01-2019, 12:07.

In any case, while Liddle's readers undoubtedly recognise what they are supposed to get het up about, it is unlikely whether they would actually want to go back to the imaginary paradise of good sense and simplicity that the Evil New is unfavourably compared to, any more than he would when he isn't wanking for coins. Look at all the fancy foreign desserts that we're supposed to prefer to badly made tapioca and sawdust pudding. It's shocking, Rod, just shocking, would you like another profiterole?
