The Southern Daily Echo has always been a good source of local information.

Recently the letters page has political letters from would-be, wannabe or present politicians telling everybody the joys of their respective parties.

If these writers have such political views they should air them in their own publications and not in the Southern Daily Echo.

We buy the Echo for its news content and not for political ends.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Alas, the General Election is a genuine topic for readers of this newspaper to discuss and we have no plans to stop them.
