Dear Editor,
Your correspondent M Maxwell (‘A massive salary increase…’ SN, Nov 20) is yet another reader who can’t recognise irony when he sees it, as in the Nov 18 letter of Pastor Jeffrey that he referred to. I find the Pastor was sarcastically advancing ill-fitting rationalizations for behaviour which can’t be treated politely.
But neither Maxwell nor Jeffrey will get any notice from our politicians: our elected leaders are too busy enjoying the good life (that they promised all of us) now they’re rich enough to pursue it.
Maybe they’ll pay attention to the results of the Local Government Elections, which may – just may – remind them that they only govern by the tiniest majority of votes.
Yours faithfully,
Gordon Forte
