... I have read with interest the article on Bob Russell in Wednesday's Gazette and would like to offer my support to a person I believe to be a very good MP, and who should be left alone by members of the public who have been treating him and his staff very badly over the expenses scandal.
There are (believe it or not!) some good, honest, MPs out there and Bob Russell is one of them.
He does not take his position in Parliament for granted and is proud to represent Colchester as our local MP.
It’s a shame that the people concerned don’t put more of their energy into tackling the bad eggs in politics and give support to the one’s who do their job properly.
