I AM looking forward to a lively letters column which gives the ordinary person the chance to pick holes in election promises made by politicians but not kept once elected.

I had a Conservative election leaflet pushed through my door stating “No Cuts in Front Line Services”. Do they not read the Daily Echo?

Beat Police withdrawn from Southampton. Or my recent letter on the subject? The sale of police stations, people who may now be let off with a caution as they have no cells to hold them in.

May I remind Mr. Cameron’s promise to hold a referendum on the common market and million pound inheritance relief at the last election?

Mention it being included in the recent budget but now put off until after the next election; but to be fair I believe the Lib. Dems vetoed it.
