IS it any wonder we no longer have faith in or respect for MPs and other elected officials?
I refer to Hugh Bayley's support for an Early Day Motion calling on the Government to spend more time trying to ban hunting.
Does he seriously believe fox hunting should be at the top of the Government's agenda when there are so many other pressing matters of national and international importance?
Only two per cent of people of the country recently said fox hunting is something Tony Blair's government should prioritise.
At least 98 per cent have a grip on reality, unlike Hugh Bayley and a number of his equally prejudiced and blinkered Parliamentary colleagues.
Mr Bayley should concentrate more on the issues that matter to us, the constituents. We elected you.
