READING P Holmes’ letter of January 7, I found myself in agreement with most of what he wrote, even though I imagine our political loyalties lie in differing directions.
However, I do take exception to his final paragraph, where he expresses the opinion that “most of the Government lead lives far removed from those of normal working people”.
I think, that in view of the expenses scandal etc, his statement could be applied to most MPs, whether in Government or Opposition.
