It is impossible to buy The Argus these days without reading story after story involving Norman "me me me" Baker MP criticising something.
We recently had two examples (The Argus, March 31). He had a pop at the Tories for some party-funding scam and also at the chairman of South East Development Agency for having business interests in the area he is seeking to promote.
Usually, Mr Baker is making ridiculous remarks about the proposed stadium in Falmer but there is no subject he is not prepared to put himself forward to rail against.
Regardless of the rights and wrongs of his numerous campaigns, I am sick of reading various reports which start "Lewes MP Norman Baker criticised..." or "A complaint by Norman Baker...".
I realise it must make life easy for journalists when they have a local mouthpiece who is always ready to see his name in print.
I cannot remember ever reading a story involving this megalomaniac in which he was praising, endorsing or welcoming anything or anybody.
I don't know if I am glad I don't live in Lewes, so he doesn't represent me, or sad because I would like to have the opportunity to vote for someone who would promote this lovely part of the world.
