Mr Thompson, I asked about the Aussie as I was intrigued to know why you had her as your leader, at a time when Australia has one of the most strict immigration laws in the world, and that clearly goes against your policy, which, in your three replies to my original letter, you still have not explained.

Perhaps you can explain in the last few weeks when Russia has sent a weekly probe by its bombers to the English Channel region, how your home guard will react to that.
