Cock Dribbling?

Cock Dribbling?

Sir,

For sometime I have been a subscriber to "Cock", and, when Chris Wheeler cried "wolf" about a police raid on his flat dutifully did I write to my local M.P. (Dr. Wall) to complain about such a breach of civil liberties.

Now Mr Wheeler's mouthings have wound down to a subdued whimper — we learn he has just happened to discover his information about a certain person was not correct. This is not the first time this ebullient writer has had to apologize for libellous accusations unleashed in the heat of the mement. I am rapidly losing confidence in Wheeler and his pseudo-socialist circle who in my opinion are so rude, brash and incompetent as to present no alternative at all to the rude, brash incompetent clique at present ruling the capitalist world. I might add also that Wheeler has also exhibited unreliability in the dispatch of "Cock" and reply to "Cock" correspondence).

Either Wheeler closes up "Cock", which at present is surpassed only by Readers' Digest for "Worst Journalism of the year Award" or he learns a few kindergarten manners. This time he may have cried "Wolf" once too often.

Love and Peace

(Mrs) Margaret Davey.
