Feedback We should give Boris a break... from being PM!
IN one shortish missive Geoff Rollinson (Feedback,
May 1) demonstrates how the country has ended up with a selfserving, lazy, opportunistic clown and inveterate liar as Prime
Minister, and just how naive the pro-Johnson correspondents are to continue to support this Conservative government steeped in corruption and cronyism.
Firstly Johnson has little, if anything, to do with the success of the Covid19 vaccination roll out that is pretty well entirely down to the NHS and local medical facilities, and communities pulling together.
Letters will not be included unless you include your name, full postal address and daytime telephone number (we prefer to use names of letter writers but you can ask for your name not
What Johnson is responsible and should be held accountable for is tens of thousands of avoidable Covid-19 deaths due to his initial inaction and subsequent tardy response to the need to lockdown. Oh, and ‘spaffing’ £37billion up Serco’s failing Track and Trace wall.
Secondly the only reason Johnson uttered a word on the European Super League was because he (or his puppetmasters) saw a PR opportunity which they thought would chime with the cap doffing former red wall constituencies they conned into voting Tory.
Finally Mr Rollinson’s absolute drivel about Johnson and Carrie Antoinette’s domestic circumstances and his attempt to justify the Downing Street refurbishment, and the corrupt way it was originally financed by a Tory benefactor expecting a favour in return, was about as disingenuous as it gets.
The break Johnson should be given is one which takes him away from any office of state which requires honesty integrity and even a modicum of capability.
Not reasonable
IN Nick Lavigueur’s report
May 1) on Huddersfield University’s unfair sacking of a senior lecturer in the Department of Accounting, the tribunal judgement apparently considered the introduction of doctoral study for senior teaching staff as ‘reasonable.’
Reasonable? By what ungainly stretch of someone’s educational imagination is a complex thesis which requires at least ten hours additional unpaid work per week for six years ‘reasonable’?
In this case, were the lecturer’s duties (preparation, teaching, marking, examinations, and essential meetings) remarkably light and his class numbers small, or does our university stand as a rebirth of Yorshire’s dark satanic mills?
Good for him at least!
ONE MP has spoken up about the Dixons ice cream debacle in support of the vendor and good for him.
Once again our council carries on its unfitness to oversee Huddersfield’s continuing wellbeing – the weasel words (sorry, cant) of the spokesman for the council (who he?) really took the biscuit, especially the part about a public body cannot bend rules for any reason, including petitions or lobbying. Still laughing !
