Our MP should make it his time to go gracefully
ANOTHER day, another government u-turn. This time on the use of face masks in schools. It would seem the one thing that is truly ‘world beating’ about this government has got to be the number of u-turns they have performed.
There have been so many, it has been hard to keep up with them all.
Clearly there are various and good reasons why u-turns might be made, including things like changes in scientific advice. Some of the Government’s u-turns though, are simply down to abject, tin-eared incompetence.
Things clearly cannot continue like this. Johnson is undoubtedly the worst Prime Minister since Jim Hacker (played by Paul Eddington in Yes Prime Minister). There are already, unsurprisingly, rumblings of discontent among back bench Conservative MPs, and the Tories are nothing if not a ruthless election winning machine – they dumped Margaret Thatcher after she had won three consecutive General Elections for them.
It seems obvious Johnson is simply not up to the job and, unless he now confounds expectations and begins to show he is capable of being a competent Prime Minister who can actually deliver things, a visit from ‘the men in grey suits’ must be a real possibility as we move forward. For the sake of the country, such a visit cannot happen quickly enough.

CONGRATULATIONS to Jason McCartney for his stance on postcode freedom from lockdown.
Huddersfield will have restrictions lifted on September 1. Barry Sheerman yet again stayed with the Labour council, wanting all areas to be lifted. Yet again the Labour MP gets it wrong.
It was only a few weeks ago he was scaremongering about a second wave of the virus and calling for pubs to be shut. Unfortunately we are stuck with this man to represent Huddersfield or, should I say, the views of Labour. He is not doing anything for our town.
My suggestion would be for him to retire gracefully and allow a younger, clear thinking person to represent our town.
I am sick to death of all the bellyaching
I COULDN’T agree more with John Dearden’s recent letter regarding the continuous bleating and bellyaching from the
Three Amigos, Messers Woolley, Charlesworth and Shackleton. Time and time again their hindsight problem-solving regarding our country’s woes is truly amazing.
As for their own personal Whatsapp application, I would offer a free set up service if it would reduce their Feedback moaning. I have a few names for the group, Nowts Reet, Allus
Reet, Moaning Together, Our Biased Viewpoint or Reds Delight.
The empty vessels make most noise
ON Friday you published an excellent letter from John Dearden regarding the boring barrage of negative correspondence to Feedback from the local left wing cabal.
How ironic that John’s comments were reinforced by your inclusion in the same issue of even more banal droning from the usual suspects.
As always the empty vessels make most noise and the silent majority try to ignore their rants.
