Sir, – In saying that Ministers should be allowed use bus lanes, (Geoff Scargill, November 23rd) seems to make the same incorrect presumptions that the ministers do.
First, that everything they do is important and vital to the country’s interest. Second, that other mere mortals, including general workers, doctors, company directors, parents bringing children to casualty and so on, have no such importance.
It’s disappointing in the extreme that our new masters have, in such a short time, come to the same belief as the lot we just threw out.
Namely, that they are somehow above the rest of us. – Yours, etc,
