CONSERVATIVE Neil Fitzgerald makes me laugh. He would prefer not to write about real issues that are the concerns of residents in Coxford, ie antisocial behaviour, the proposed redeployment of a fire engine from the west of Southampton, the future of Aldermoor post office, street parking, secondary schools reorganisation and so much more.

He had to write about Alan Whitehead MP who sits on the Standards and Privilege Committee doing looking at different ways of funding political parties (Daily Echo, Janauary 12).

How shocking! No wonder Neil is horrified.
