Being a regular reader of the Echo, and in particular the letters column, I have noticed that it has been more than a week since Martin Kyrle has written.

I can only presume that it is because of the very poor election results for the Liberal Democrats this has actually happened.

Joy indeed that we do not have to read the biased literature from the pompous Mr Kyrle although I will not be surprised if there is a response informing me that I am literally incorrect of course!
