LETTER TO THE EDITOR: We are already judging our MP Alexander Stafford
What insights into the lives of we, his constituents, is our MP hoping to glean by role-playing at bartending for a few hours while occupying a lofty seat from the Commons? Let’s see: “It was quite interesting how the clientele changed during the night,” he tells us. As well as that barrels in the beer cellar “Are a lot heavier than you think!” Stunning revelations well worth his time? Well at least he got a photo and some column inches using the local residents of Maltby and Hellaby as an ethnographic study, seemingly marvelling at our otherness as we live and work in a variety of jobs, (of which hospitality and bar work is just one), pay our way and raise our families.
“Judge me on what I do,” Alexander implores. Believe me, that we already do.
Amy Brookes, Hellaby
