Letter: Home ownership blamed for our failing economy

I TOTALLY agree with your front-page editorial last week ('Time is up for John Major and his beliefs'). What a pity that the Independent on Sunday and its daily stablemate did not come out resoundingly for Labour during the election campaign in April.

It is not too fanciful to argue that if the Independent newspapers had endorsed Neil Kinnock, his party might have won the extra 20 or so seats that kept him from Downing Street. It is not just Lynn Barber who should be hanging her head in shame.
