It is almost risible, that our 'news'paper choose this as the prize winning, letter of the week, and decided to accompany it with a photograph of Cllr. Jones.
Sadly I don't think the investigative standards of journalism at the Observer are up there with the Washington Post. As was recently witnessed when they covered the 'story' of an 'innocent' photographer being hounded in the police state of Accrington. Even though a little reasearch uncovered factual evidence that he was a member of an organisation which relished conflict with those who uphold our laws.
People aren't stuipd, no matter what the papers think, or those who try to score political Brownie points, by hiding their status as a councillor, and their address.
