COUN Jonathan Morley stated he wondered if Coun Tracey Simpson Laing had been taking comprehension lessons from Coun Alexander James (Letters, December 10).
Good question! I have often wondered if Coun Alexander’s school teachers issued those dreaded instructions: “In your own words describe... etc”; mine did.
In my humble opinion, Coun Alexander’s letters are dissertations, not letters all in his own words.
He would not have got away with such questionable practice in my young days at St Joseph’s Catholic School at Tadcaster.
