IN his letter (LT, October 6) criticising the comments of Margo Grimshaw, Mr S T Eaves made an impassioned defence of socialism and eulogised support of the striking postal workers and the service they provide.

He should, however, exercise caution.

Given his archaic views, it would appear his letter has taken around seventy years to reach its destination.
