Sir – Now that Terry Eagleton, as Christopher Gray has reminded us (Gray Matter, (August 22), has so cleverly described Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens as ‘Ditchkins’ (thus refuting everything they’ve ever said or written), none of us ever need to bother our little heads again about any of their arguments. Hurray!


As the Welsh folk singer Wizz Jones put it in one of his songs:
‘Stick a little label on it
Give it a name;
And everything can go on just the same’.
John Webster, Headington
