J BARROW of Bournemouth is fond of the grand gesture, writing off the Daily Echo in both Bournemouth and Southampton as a result of what she perceives as an injustice perpetrated by them.

Reading between the lines, it is clear to me that Ms Barrow is out of touch with the Labrador Lifeline Trust and judging the current scandal by recollections that are far from up to date. Has she taken the trouble to research the details in this case?

Her support for the LLT is another grand gesture based principally on emotion.
