WHAT a wonderful story, so sad and yet so touching, about eight-year-old Greg from North Yorkshire. He was so intelligent, and so very adult to be able to tell us all what it is like having Tourette's syndrome (February 27).

An incurable problem so far, but he talked so brilliantly about his condition and how he wishes it would go away. I grumble when I feel ill and have arthritis.

Tony Blair seems so ignorant of the more important things in life, such as improving the NHS and prefers to swan about abroad thinking he is all powerful, when he ought to be considering more help for those who need it most.
