In Mr Weller's published letter to you he twice mentions my name.

This has led some readers to mistakenly believe that I am associated with the issues he raises and the criticisms he makes.

For the record that is not the situation and the first time that I was aware of his views was when reading the published letter.

I hope that this will clarify my position for some of your readers.
