I WOULD remind Jack Straw, Tony Blair and all the members of this government, that they are where they are because we, the public, put them there and we, the public, pay their salaries.
We, the public, gave them a mandate to act on our behalf and in our best interests.
In other words, they are our servants, not our masters, and they should listen to what we, the public, are saying and act in our best interests -- even if it means losing face or doing a u-turn.
They ignore the general public at their peril.
JIM BUCKLEY, Ulverston Close, Blackburn.
