Dear Sir,

This story is a breath of fresh air for those of us (and there are many) who are sick to death of the sycophantic pandering to spoilt brats because Daddy is well heeled.

You are lucky to have just one journalist on your staff with the sense to correctly prioritise, the courage to act on her convictions, and the integrity to refuse to roll over when threatened by authority.

Disciplinary action would, in my view, be exceedingly ill advised. Better far to have her train the rest of your staff to her high standards.

Long may she cotinue to stand by her principles. I wish we had a few like her in the UK.

Don T.
