It sounds as though John Parry (September 27) went on the Countryside Alliance march and spent too long listening to angry white upper-middle-class foxhunting Conservatives.
In trying to persuade us things have only got worse since Tony Blair entered Number 10, Mr Parry must have forgotten about the lowest mortgage and inflation rates and levels of unemployment for 30 years.
He implies Labour has broken its promises on law and order.
How is it then that by next March there will be more police officers in Sussex than ever before?
Perhaps the rise in standards in schools, the billions being pumped into the NHS, and successful projects such as EB4U and the New Deal aren't important to him but they matter to the rest of us a lot more than hunting and cuts in Tory subsidies for the shires.
This government has acted for the many, not the few, and if John Parry does not like it, he can take his selfish view of the world somewhere else.
