private eye letters

Sir, I couldn’t help noticing when watching the Reform conference on televison, that Allison Pearson refered to Sadiq Khan the Mayor of London as “That poisoned dwarf”. She then said, “Not sure if you’re allowed to say that, but dwarfs won’t mind will they”. So I hope she won’t mind if I say she looks exactly like the Poison Dwarf in the famous TV series Dallas – aka, Lucy Ewing as played by Charlene Tilton.
