SO MP Rob Wilson thinks that Gordon Brown is 'bunkering down' and 'isolated' at No 10 (Reading Chronicle, 9 July).

Who then was that British Prime Minister at the G8 in Aquila we saw on the television screens last week taking a leading part in the discussions about climate change, the world economy, and helping Africa to feed itself? It certainly wasn't David Cameron, who has not left his bunker recently except to campaign for some nasty right-wing Poles in the Euro-elections!

But going back to Rob Wilson, I am driven to ask what bunker he himself has been hiding in this year. He hasn't attended any of the summits the Borough Council has held to discuss the credit crunch and how to help local people.

He didn't attend the Gaza Crisis meeting on January 6 at the Pakistan Community Centre. He didn't come to Holocaust Memorial Day at the Civic Centre on February 1, and I don"t remember him at Mayor-making on May 20 or at Armed Forces Day in Forbury Gardens on June 28. Does he ever come south of the Thames other than to catch the train to London?

Cllr Tony Page

Deputy Leader, Reading Borough Council

It looks like the forthcoming general election is going to be a very nasty business. Why did you raise the matter Tony and not analese Dodds? It really is hard hat time! Good luck to all the candidates - may the one who has policies which represent the town be the victor.

Maybe Mr Wilson, as an MP, has been busy in the Commons trying to make sense of the mess that Cllr Page's beloved party have made of the country. Let us only hope that he has a chance to rectify the situation. A sad day that Cllr Page, who likes to be seen getting around (his criminal convictions bear testimony to that) should feel able to criticise someone who is actually working.....
