Love this. A letter from the archives that shows exactly how to "dis" someone whilst remaining polite and articulate. The note is from Bertrand Russell to Oswald Mosley and, in summary, is the former giving "the finger" to the latter. I sometimes wonder how these giants of the past would have interacted using modern media platforms like Twitter when they often showed great skill and economy in how they communicated, I bet it would have been a great delight, certainly more informative than most of the the illiterate bozo's that inhabit that realm today.
