Our local MP has been found to dispose of letters, sent to him in good faith by his constituents in West Dorset, in the nearest dustbin.

This outrageous behaviour is typical of the ‘don’t care’ attitude displayed by the current government.

He is one of a number of cabinet ministers, educated at vast expense at Eton, who are completely out of touch with ordinary folk.

For example, one year’s school fees alone would pay the old age pension for at least five people for a year.

It is little wonder that they appear so distant.

They have not had the life experiences of most people.

These multi-millionaires in the cabinet live in a different world.

The huge amount of money spent on education was clearly a complete waste, since they have learned nothing about the sensitivities of their fellow man, whose hopes and aspirations are being put in the same dustbin used by our esteemed Dr Letwin.
