Note to the producers and staff on the BBC’s Six O’Clock News

, re. your story this evening about the clothes horse known as Kate Moss: her boyfriend, Pete Doherty, is not “a well known drug user”. He is, in fact, a well known drug abuser.

Next time you take the trouble to broadcast to the nation’s watching families please try to remember this important distinction, and perhaps even point out to the children watching your coverage the typical outcome of abusing drugs such as cocaine and heroin. Thank you.

P.S. Logging on to BBC News Online to watch their recorded version of the Six O’Clock News just now, after 8pm, reveals a message stating “This broadcast has ended”. If only!
