LETTER TO PRIME MINSTER GORDON BROWN

9 Station Cottages,
Brampton Road Huntingdon PE29-3BW 27/7/8

The Prime Minister
10 Downing St
London SW1

Dear Prime Minister,
As you are presently so unpopular, it occurred to me that you might be getting incorrect information from your advisers. I therefore find myself in a position to offer you information that might help you to realise just where you have gone wrong.

I will list the areas of public concern so that, if you have time, you may be able to make a few amendments to legislation that could possibly improve your standing with the general public.
Many people think of you as public enemy number one, with some justification, and I hope to be able to give you guidance as to how to overcome this blight on your reputation in this correspondence.
However, it might be too late to save your Soul and you will, one day, have to face the Almighty to explain why you and your Party lied to the British people, made the Queen break her Coronation Oath, and harmed the unity of the United Kingdom.

List of Unpopular and/or Harmful Measures Forced on the UK and its People.
Ratified the Lisbon Treaty/European Constitution.
Lied to the British People when promising a referendum.
Sold UK gold when at its lowest value to please Brussels.
Ignored the good people of the North East when they voted NO by a ratio of 4:1 to a North East Assembly.
Caused alienation between Scotland, Wales, and England.
Reduced England to Regions controlled by Brussels.
Legislated to make English University Students future Debtors
Made English taxpayers subsidise Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Proposed legislation to make the poorest people even poorer.
Taken credit for controlling the UK economy by borrowing heavily so that the UK has its largest ever international debt.
Allowed Scottish MPs to interfere in England's affairs.
Together with Tony Blair engaged the UK in an unnecessary war killing tens of thousands of Iraqis and well over one hundred British men and women. (You and Blair should do at least six months service in Iraq to get a sense of the horror of your decisions)
Allowed European Union Law to be paramount in the UK.
Done nothing to prevent British market traders being taken to court for selling fruit and vegetables in pounds and ounces, when that is what their customers ask for.
Allowed British traditional units to be assigned to the scrap heap.
MPs vote to scrap the gallon and the acre and use only metric units in official documents.
Allow bonuses of obscene value to be paid to executives and top administrators whilst keeping the lower paid workers to pay rises of less than three percent.
MPs vote to keep their snouts in the trough, as usual.
Disgraceful vote in parliament not to give itself power to over-rule European Law when it is not in the interests of the British people or the maintenance of the British constitution.
Sneaking a copy of the ratified Lisbon Treaty/European Constitution off to Rome.
Many instances of the Labour Government getting funding for the Labour Party by dubious means.

Upon reflection, I think your record is so bad, that I don't think I can help you to get out of the blues.

Perhaps it really is time for you to go and retire North of the Border where you might just get a position with the Scottish National Party who appear to think they can get independence for Scotland within the European Union.
How's that for a novel concept?

Wishing you a speedy exit from office.

Yours sincerely, Derek Norman. (Mr)

LETTER TO THE PRESS:

To the St Albans Review about a new native species forest which is planned by the Woodland Trust for Hertfordshire. It is planned to be bigger than Sherwood Forest.

To: revieweditor@london.newsquest.co.uk

Dear Editor
I have mixed feelings about the large new native species forest planned by the Woodland Trust on land between St Albans, Harpenden and Wheathampstead. My first reaction was positive, thinking that we need as many native trees as possible. But taking into account the world food crisis my opinion has changed. Britain needs to produce as much of its own food as possible.
We are presently around 60% self sufficient in food but historically it has been much higher and could be again. Taking hundreds of acres of pasture land out of production will not help matters. Improvement of hedgerows and planting of new hedgerow trees is the way forward -- not the afforestation of productive land.
We have come to believe that there will always be a constant stream of foreign food imports into Britain but opposition to Free Trade principles of free global movement of goods, people and capital is building in poorer nations which realise that the actions of the World Trade Organisation have damaged them. Food security is more important than trees.
