We Can Be Sarcastic Too

By Unknown Author

Dear Editors,

Good to see you devoting so much space early on in the term to Labour's activities

in Oxford ("Labour Club In Disarray", last week). Okay so you could have mentioned

Labour's ongoing battle against Lib Dem privatisation, or....[list of Labour

"achievements"]...Instead, you chose to hone in on the vital issue of membership fees

for the Club's executive. Well done anyway.

Yours faithfully,

Ed Turner

Ooh, get you... What happened, did you only just learn sarcasm at school today?

The reason we don't run stories about how amazing the Labour government is may

well be due to the fact that frankly, Mr.Turner, it's not even remotely interesting.

Or relevant. But then you knew that, you were just hoping we'd print the list of

Labour's achievements weren't you? Instead, we're just going to tell you

that the phrase you should have used was 'home in' not 'hone in'.
