It seems from the lather Warren Morgan has worked himself into (Opinion, March 12) over some readers saying they are not interested in reading his political views his own ego has been rattled, not the cages of the vermin he suspects of conspiring.

As I recall, one of the two correspondents that led him to smell a "blue rat" specifically said: "I give the brush to 'most' letters from councillors on the Opinion page" - that smells more like a colour blind and wise old monkey talking, not a rat.

If it is too hot in the kitchen for Mr Morgan, he should stay out. Sparring in the square ring of the Opinion page is for those who can throw punches and take some back on the chin - definitely not recommended for those with glass jaws who smell imaginary blue rats instead of seeing stars when they get hit back.
