SIR - The issue of the right to privacy is an important one, but just as important, and the source of this particular breach of privacy, is the question (yet to be made an issue) of the presumed "right to sell a story" at all [Blairs will do 'whatever it takes' to defend privacy].
It is easy for the well-off to criticise the Blairs' former nanny for wanting to make some money from her reminiscences, but who can blame her for taking pecuniary advantage of her situation?
Take a look around at all the people, many of them well-known and wealthy, who do exactly the same, or something very similar: sell their name or fame to outside interests.
It is not only these people that society should hold in some degree of contempt (and subject to the law) but also those soliciting their services.
