Dear Sir,

SUITABLE EXPENSES

It is unfortunate that it is only current MPs whose expenses are being opened up to public inspection.

I would be particularly interested to peruse those of the former Independent MP Martin Bell. Perhaps, in view of his anti-sleaze campaigning, he would care to put these in the public domain?

The public has a right to know how much (if anything) we have paid for laundering his white suit!

Sincerely,



John Eoin Douglas

Dear Sir,

DIG FOR VICTORY

Why does everybody seems surprised that Shadow Leader of the House of Commons Alan Duncan has spent so much public money on tending his garden?

Having seen the uphill lie of his land, I can assure you that gardening of the sort that this millionaire Tory enjoys does not come cheap. Whether we should be paying for it is another matter!

Sincerely,



John Eoin Douglas

LETTER TO THE EDITOR


Dear Sir,

ID CARDS

Manchester seems an unlikely place for the introduction of ID Cards: the Government's long touted panacea for rising crime rates. Perhaps our Home Secretary has been prejudiced against this comparatively law abiding city by viewing too many episodes of the popular drama series "Shameless"?

In reality, it is Liverpool or Glasgow that would benefit most from their swift introduction.

Sincerely,



John Eoin Douglas
