May I reply to Malcolm Baker (Oxford Mail, May 6), and his comments on my "cheap attack" on John Prescott's bulimia?

People who know my family are well aware of the hell of eating disorders.

My point was that this disclosure came at the time of his book release. I would never make light of eating disorders.

Recent events have shown the results of what spews forth from high-up socialists' mouths!

My sincere apologies to anyone who suffers from eating disorders. You all have my sympathy.
