Summary: Freedom More Or Less (Press, 29 May 1985)
In a letter to the editor published on 29 May 1985, Robert Trueman addresses concerns raised by J. B. Sanderson regarding the concept of freedom. Trueman expresses both perplexity and concern over Sanderson's cynical perspective on this critical issue. He finds the discussion on the right to oppose freedom to be somewhat amusing, yet acknowledges that Sanderson has the right to voice his views and subject himself to public scrutiny and ridicule. Trueman highlights the struggles of various marginalized groups, such as the poor, unemployed, homosexuals, and those against vivisection, contrasting their fight for rights with Sanderson’s outlook. He concludes with a pointed remark, suggesting that for individuals like Sanderson, who may not acknowledge the complexities of freedom and opposition, the phrase "if the cap fits, wear it" is particularly fitting.
