I assume the letter from Tony Hillier, was sent in before the disaster of an interview between Andrew Marr and the leader of the Green party, the lady with the Aussie accent.

From this we know now that her party wants to give everybody a ‘working wage’ of £72 a week, Andrew told her that this had been worked out to a sum of around £280 billion to the government of the day.

He asked her how she would pay for it and she came up with several items that her party would cut, but the savings that she thought up came to around £6bn.

They were very dubious in their making also, and when pressed for the rest she just waffled and said wait till March.

She was then asked about her party’s pledge to cut the armed forces down to a home guard role only. She said it was the way to go and we didn’t need such expenditure on the armed forces, and also when done the firms that now produce equipment for the forces – planes, ships etc – would be put to task to build wind turbines.

Andrew never asked her if Capt Mainwaring and Corporal Jones had been put on standby.

Her final touch of madness was to confirm that her party believes we are the basket case of the world and so they would open up the borders not only to the EU but to the world, as it was our duty as a rich nation to help others.

I did a double check of my Sunday papers to ensure it was not April 1, but no, it was for real.

Finally, she never said whether Lord Sutch was now a member of the party. The words raving loony came to mind, but I’m sure Tony has other words to protect her, and can he explain the Aussie accent?
