Convenient oversight?

-

I AM in my mid-70s and have never written to the Evening Post before, but I feel I must react to the reply of D L Davies (Letters, Friday) to a recent letter from Gorseinon man, where he glibly says Gorseinon man is just one of a few that hold his views.

The audacity of D L Davies seems to know no bounds. Is he a soothsayer or a modern day Solomon?

I strongly suggest to him that there are countless many ordinary nonpolitic­al people who are seriously upset, indeed aghast, at the continual bias of both television and newspaper media in reporting as to why the Met Police investigat­e and then decide to prosecute historical party events (Boris Johnson etc), whilst other police forces like the Durham Police Force investigat­e but then decide to NOT prosecute historical party events (Sir Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner). Is it perhaps that the north east of England in the main is considered a Labour area?

Furthermor­e, this weekend, it now seems that the Labour Party have been caught out at Durham, when they convenient­ly forgot to mention that the deputy leader of Labour, Angela Rayner, was also at that time at this party event with the Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer. Labour say it is an oversight! How convenient. This of course being the very same lady who very regularly demands many times in Parliament that the Prime Minister resign.

She had to eventually apologise in the end for the language used. You couldn’t make it up.

Also, I think Gorseinon man was either being kind or genuinely forgot to mention other notable cases of people in high office breaking the law.

Stephen Kinnock drove 300-plus miles to London and back to Port Talbot to see his parents, and Ian Blackford the outspoken SNP leader (who perpetuall­y attacks the Prime Minister often with nonsense) also broke the law, driving 600-plus miles to the Isle of Skye and back.

The word hypocrite comes to mind.

It is true what more and more people say, particular­ly the youngsters in my area, that what worked for Labour last century is no longer fit for purpose today and should firmly be put to bed.

Change is very much needed. Ex-greenhill resident Name and address supplied
