I KNOW this is the silly election season but I am tempted to wonder whether, if anyone did set fire to the London warehouse containing the "modern" art, she or he may not have performed a public service.

I also wonder whether the chap who threw a condom full of purple flour at Tony Blair (above) and was fined for disorderly conduct ought not to have had his fine commuted in recognition of at least opting to do it "safely".

WENDY HANDS, Upton-upon-Severn.
