THANKS for the classic response to my letter which you published last week.

It could only be something as sour as the Citizen which counters my argument that we should concentrate on what unites rather than what divides us by questioning why I didn't refer to one of the divisive issues.

Or which elsewhere describes 'Lancaster's economic rot' at a time of significant regeneration and the best real hope for full employment and a sustainable economic future in 100 years.

When does the new editor arrive?

Hopefully they'll come equipped with a large broom and a little ray of sunshine.

Hilton Dawson MP.

I'm not paid to spread sunshine, I'm paid to ask questions...

it could be argued that you are paid to answer questions and, once again, you have managed to avoid doing so.

I'm encouraged to see that you accept that this issue, is indeed, divisive - Ed.
