letters to editors from a grumpy member
By mikejdavidson

Dear Sir,
Whilst Brown’s Labour Election slogan ‘A Future Fair for All’ is virtually
identical to that which they used in 2003, it reminded me of the Anthony
Newley/Lesley Bricusse Hit Musical ‘Stop the World’ where the political slogan song
‘Mumbo Jumbo’ ends with the memorable line… ‘THERE’LL BE FREE FALSE TEETH FOR
ALL!!!
Ring any bells?
Amusedly yours,
Michael Davidson

Dear Sir,
So now its official. Soft sentences don’t work.
650,000 re-offences after community service sentences. When will every judge, social
worker, do-gooder, politician, churchman or woman admit what has been common sense
since time immemorial? SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE CHILD.
Oh no, we know better than our ancestors, we have ASBO’S, we have building bird
boxes, we have hug-a-hoodie mantras which are the answer. Only they are
self-evidently not the answer.Youth crime which is now pandemic in this country
will take decades to reverse and then only if we institute proper painful penalties
for youngsters after their FIRST OFFENCE !
How long Oh Lord does it take for basic logic and old-fashioned remedies to sink in?
Michael Davidson

Dear Sir,
Am I alone in seeing a bizarre similarity in the disgraced policeman Ali Dizaei’s
tactics of using racism and the Black Police Association to camouflage his bullying
and criminal activities and our Labour Government invoking racism to offset
criticism of their policy of unlimited immigration for political ends? Well done
Andrew Neather!
Yours disgusted,
Michael Davidson

Dear Sirs,
Has anyone taken the trouble to define for Gordon Brown and his Election team what
the word ‘aspiration’ means in a medical or dental sense? It actually means ‘sucking
up waste, blood, saliva, phlegm or other bodily fluids’!!! Do they think this is a
sure-fire election winner?
Yours amusedly,
Michael Davidson(retired Dental Surgeon)
