IN RECENT weeks it has become difficult to read a letters feature in a local paper without being subjected to a long, detailed epistle from Dr Rachel Joyce, prospective Conservative candidate for Harrow West.

I just wonder what is happening to her patients while all this self-publicity is going on.

The last effort that I saw was on the currently popular Tory theme of 'loss of privacy'.

Presumably these topics are supplied by some website such as tory@agoodmoan.con.

All I can say is, Dr Joyce, you've made your point, we know about your political ambitions and a local read-ers' letter feature without you would be like Hamlet without Polonius, but please give us a break.
