Dear sir. I have just watched prime minister’s questions, and I am appalled by your performance. It was a disgusting display of lying, dissembling and twisting of facts. Your attitude to the leader of the opposition was utterly patronising; your stance on inclusive education, for instance, shows a lack of understanding of the subject. Most serious, though, is the way in which you perpetuate the blatant lie that our country’s economic woes were caused by the profligacy of the previous government: history records that this crisis was caused by the greed and ineptitude of the banking sector, and would indeed have turned into a depression had not action been taken by the then government. The way you misrepresent this fact is a sign that either you do not understand the situation properly, or are twisting history for your own gain. Either way, these are not the actions of a Prime Minister. I therefore write to demand your immediate resignation. It seems to me that you had no clear mandate in the first place, yet are pushing through savage, ideological cuts and trying to blame the previous government.

Sir, I am frankly tired of your weasel-words and lies. You are not fit to lead this country, and your government is doing untold damage to many people’s lives. You will therefore stand down and call a general election immediately.

Yours

Matt Goodsell
