The Irish Times - Letters to the Editor.

A chara, – In your interview with Jonathan Dimbleby (“Broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby on Britain today: ‘Just alienation, frustration, resentment and contempt’”, Weekend, June 8th), he claimed that I “sent him a letter warning him he was no longer welcome in republican areas of the North”.

I suppose his account of what transpired between us in 1988 makes for more sensational reading. For the record, I sent him a letter in which I said, “If you are ever passing through Belfast, don’t look me up.” – Yours, etc,

DANNY MORRISON,

Belfast.
