PHONE CALL TO MERCURY

I phone the Leicester Mercury this afternoon, to ask what's become of our reply to Mr James Gore Browne's letter published in Tuesday's edition, in which he urged the Council of Faiths to respond to his proposals about the wearing of the burka by Muslim women in Leicester. Since the reply was sent to them by email early Wednesday evening, we could have expected to see it published Thursday or Friday, but it hasn't shown up yet. I speak to the person in charge of the Features Desk today, who assures me that it will be printed in Monday's edition.
