Too much bashing of Boris on these pages

-

I AM writing to express my disappoint­ment at your letters page over the past few weeks/months as most of them are just Boris bashing, so much so that I don’t bother to read the epistles from the usual suspects and just turn the page.

With all the problems in the world today – the pandemic, the global unrest with migration, the fact that China and Russia are in each other’s pockets and seek global domination, the idiots who are lying in the road stopping ambulances and the public going about their business and all the racist stuff coming out of the woodwork – what do the Labour party and its support major on? Who paid for Johnson’s holiday, who paid to decorate Number 10?

They focus on Tory sleaze, but you go back to the Tony Blair years and up to present day, and work out how many Labour councillor­s, mayors and MPs have been suspended and investigat­ed for fraud and so on.

And what about Claudia Webbe, the ex-Labour MP?

Not one of you have mentioned her.

I am not saying for one minute the Tories are blameless, only that bigger issues are at stake.

Please change the boring record.
