Sit up now Stuart, Gareth, Garry, Murky. Gordon Brown has replied to my letter.
Dear Mr Stephen
Thank you for your recent letter which I have forwarded to the appropriate department. I will contact you once I receive a reply.
Yours sincerely
Gordon Brown MP
I’m sure you’ll agree, it was definitely worth the wait, and the price of two first class stamps. At least he got my name right.

I think this is what they call “cutting bureaucracy”.

Can’t say I’m gutted really. I didn’t expect an in-depth letter or anything. But some indication of his views would have been nice really.

This is a disgrace, and it’s exactly what I have come to expect from politicians down here. You ask for their opinion and they refer your letter to the Dept of Constitutional Affairs or the ODPM.
You should write back stating that you want his opinion.

That’s called recycling. I suppose we should applaud him for not throwing reams of paper out.
