Sorry, Senator, but no one is picking on you

From Angela Macdonald.

I DO not feel that Senator Terry Le Main (JEP, 28 January) has been picked on. He should answer questions in an appropriate manner. Anyone else would have had to explain why they were absent from the States. He should be careful how he speaks to people, as he can come across as extremely rude.

Further to his letter, he obviously has a lot of family commitments (don’t we all?). If this is the case, maybe he should step down from his position rather than bleating to the general public on how hard it is to juggle family life with his position of Senator.

No one has stopped him from having a holiday over the Christmas period. He should remember that he has six weeks holiday (very lucky indeed).

And as for being available to assist his tenants, putting up with calls day and night, and being on call 24 hours a day (did he mean his staff?), it seems to be extremely exaggerated.

‘Putting up with’ is a very rude thing to say about his tenants who pay his wages. Yet again the Senator didn’t think before putting that remark in his letter. What a surprise!

As for the Senator’s apology, well it was not really a sincere one was it? His continued offensive behaviour should not be tolerated. In any other establishment he would have been dismissed by now.
