HAVING just read the latest edition of the middle east by Tim Siret (Letters, OxfordMail, November 29) most of his correspondence is his usual tirade against the west, but it was very reassuring to read that Iran has not got ‘the bomb’.

The letter ends that he is plain ashamed to be British. Well, I am ashamed he is!

He should be proud to live in a country where his rancid nonsense is tolerated in the press.

Might I suggest he travels further afield in search of his Utopia, but perhaps not the USA, as the rednecks over there might just give him the welcome he deserves.
