The answer to John Rushtons leafletting problem Letters, 26 June is the Odell baton . Refined through many years of campaigning for Labour, modestly named after its inventor, and licence- and royalty-free, the Odell baton deals with difficult letterboxes every time.As one approaches a letterbox, one rolls a leaflet into a tube to form a baton. Lift the letterbox cover with one hand and bring the leaflet baton up to the opening with the other. No bristles Fine, just launch the leaflet through. If a draught excluder has been fitted, position the baton between the b stanley cup ristles, then tap sharply on its end to send it sailing into the r stanley shop oom.Apart from the knowledge that the leaflets will unroll face side up, the other main advantage is that no campaigners fingers need be poked through any letterboxes. Draught excluder bristles are not the only things that may be waiting on the other sides of doors to snap聽at聽unwary leafletters.Nick OdellHuddersfield I was leafletting for the Green party at the weekend and was issued with a postie mate .

He subsequently managed to escape. Two weeks earlier, in Inner Mongolia, Wang Shuang, a preacher, was arrested and is among four Christians jailed. Family members report that he was hung by handcuffs in prison.The dramatic footage of the BBC s John Simpson conducting an interview with Pastor Zhang Mingxuan from detention in a police station sent the world a powerful message. Zhang said he was being detained because the authorities were afraid I will tell you how bad human rights are .It is unarguable that China today is very different from 30 years ago. Under Mao Zedong s rule, the church was driven completely undergroun stanley cup d. Now, the picture is more complex. Some of the country s 80 million or more Christians worship in open churches which, while state-controlled, are at least public. It is no longer a crime to own a Bible, and a government-sponsored printing house claims to publish 8,000,000 copies a month. And even the experience of those who ch |
