The Post Bag: Letters To Squall
Compulsive Conversation
Squall 08, Autumn 1994, pg. 54.
Dear Squall,
I read a lot. No, I read compulsively; cereal packets, road signs, books, magazines etc. The most stimulating literature I've read in years has been the Summer edition of SQUALL. It has caused met to start conversations and write to my MP (encouraging but slightly fob-offish response from Ms Emma Nicholson - Torridge).
I wish it weren't necessary to publish such a shocking magazine, but it definitely is.
I work as an occupational therapist in an acute psychiatry unit in rural Devon and we deal with the effects of homelessness and social deprivation but are unable to put pressure on those who manufacture its causes. I'm rather angry and have an urge to run away and join friends in Portugal, Spain and France but have decided to stay and try and help.
Enclosed is a small donation, hope it helps,
Yours sincerely,
Huw Jenkins,
Torrington,
Devon.
