LETTERS – Sir John is widely appreciated

When reading the latest issue of The Voice I came across a letter by Nicolas De Jong which I felt was unbalanced about the Prime Minister and deeply unfair.

Boris Johnson has led this country’s response to the biggest crisis in Europe since the fall of Berlin in 1945, and has been widely praised for doing so, particularly by leaders in Ukraine.

Mr De Jong would be better placed to ask for Sir John Hayes’s position at a constituency surgery rather than using such divisive language to score cheap political points at a time of international crisis.

Sir John is an outstanding and highly respected Parliamentarian, and his support is widely appreciated by people in this area and across the country.

Simply put, I believe his evaluation of our MP was presumptuous and dishonest.
