Get the searchlight out to find where our MP is
STILL no word from Barry Sheerman.
Our town, which he is supposed to represent, is going through massive changes, against the wishes of many people.
Bollards appearing, roads closing and disabled people penalised by the loss of parking bays but where is the ‘voice of the people? (said with tongue in cheek). Obviously his agent hasn’t been keeping him informed.
We ought to start calling Bazza ‘The Phantom.’ Why not stick a huge searchlight on top of the town hall that beams out the letter ‘B.’.. like in
Batman. When he is wanted, the searchlight goes on with the sign of a bat.
I can just picture Sheerman in long Johns, a bath towel for a cape and a Mickey Mouse mask running into town.
Drivel from usual trio
IN THURSDAY’S “Feedback” (April 22) we had three of a kind.
We had, Jenkinson, Charlesworth and Shackleton. We were one shy of a full house in the shape of Woolley.
All three were spouting their usual political drivel.
One word of advice to Mr Schofield, who Charlesworth seems to have an issue with, you have to remember he must have the last word. The reason being he is always right. In fact that goes for all four correspondents.
If they covered other topics people might read their letters in a different light. Heaven knows what they are like to live with.
Forecast short-change
SINCE the UK’s new supercomputer mainframe has not yet started work (April 22), and predicting either a White Xmas or less desirable frost in late April seems fraught with difficulty, will cooperation between the Met Office and Microsoft deliver much change – or short-change for taxpayers? Permit my nagging doubts: How good were the top 25 supercomputers in predicting severe December to February weather across England since 2002?
Sleaze is back on table
I CAN imagine that our ridiculous Prime Minister experienced delight and the same time horror recently.
First of all delight in the announcement of the European Super League. Here was a bandwagon that the oaf could leap on, a chance to hide the more significant story of sleazy Tories and Covid incompetence beneath the faux outrage against millionaires wanting to enrich themselves further at our expense. He didn’t expect that the plans would fall through too quickly though.
As a result sleaze is now back on the agenda. His first response was to name a friend to head up the inquiry to ensure that the “right result” would emerge. The problem was he forgot his own involvement with yet another millionaire chum.
How have we come to this? Surely there can’t be many voters still blind to the faults of this dreadful man and his party of cheats and liars.
It’s not OK to mislead parliament. It’s not OK to waste public money on vanity projects and home decorations. It’s not OK to move in his live-in girlfriend to Downing Street. There are standards that should be observed and Bojo is abusing every single one.
