Laugh your head of at royal ideas; Views of the North.

I MUST thank Max Robespierre for his humorous support of the royal family, in his letter of May 28 from beyond the grave and the French Revolution.

His tongue-in-cheek use of emotive language to make non-issues sound plausible, his use of comedic vitriol vitriol: see sulfuric acid.  and his use of negatives to highlight the income Her Majesty brings in from tourism were pure quality. From the man who brought us his 'Reign of Terror' it is good to see his support for a 'Reign of Peace'.

What I was not amused about was the use of Views of the North for a party political broadcast by Dave Anderson Dave Anderson might refer to:
  • Dave Anderson (actor)
  • Dave Anderson (football)
  • David Anderson (UK politician)
  • Dave Anderson (MLB infielder)
  • Dave Anderson (MLB pitcher)
  • Dave Anderson (sportswriter)
  • Dave Anderson (author)
  • David P.
 MP in support of the Labour candidate for police chief in the same edition.

This should have an editorial issue, with balanced views from all sides or a paid-for advertisement, not a freebie for a major political party.
