A part of the letter written by the late Beatles legend states, “It’s all very well playing ‘simple, honest ole’ human Paul’ in Melody Maker … [but] if you’re not the aggressor (as you claim), who the hell took us to court and s–t all over us in public?” While the late singer mainly focused on the financial problems that came after the group’s split, he also focused on the bassist’s politics, accusing him of being a ‘conservative’. He wrote, “Your politics are very similar to [conservative activist] Mary Whitehouse’s,” adding, “Saying nothing is as loud as saying something.”
