SHOCKER

Re Shock Jock Was Pioneer Of ‘Radio Poubelle’ (Obituary, May 16): Normally, I would not be inclined to pass comment on a person I have never met.

But I cannot restrain myself after reading the account of André Arthur’s career.

He may well have been a “cultured, gentlemanly and charming” radio personality in Quebec City.

But his mocking – on Twitter, of the nurses who were caring for him as he lay dying – tells me all I need to know about the man.
