SOME of my friends mirror the opinion of Coun James Alexander when they ask me to write more, as they complain about all the long-winded Tory letters that are so tiresome to wade through.

I told them it probably goes back to the early days of eating out when the diner would complain about every sprout on his plate.

Complain about the service, complain about the waiter, and generally bore every reader to tears.

Maybe we should call the Tories the “food bank party” for creating so much poverty and see how they explain that away. Be my guest.
