Why Keir Starmer’s ‘smarmy hindsight’ offends us – Yorkshire Post Letters

LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer (or is it now officially ‘Captain Hindsight’?) says that Boris Johnson should apologise to the country for the way in which the Christmas coronavirus restrictions have been managed (The Yorkshire Post, December 21).

Here we have a Labour leader that does not know the meaning of the word ‘apologise’ – especially after he and all his undemocratic colleagues did 
all they could in trying to 
thwart their own core voters regarding their majority result to leave the EU during the last four years.

He now says he will be spending a lot of time here in the North. Why and for what 
reason?

We haven’t forgot how you, along with the rest of your rabble, treated our majority referendum decision and therefore you no longer represent us here in the 
North.

I would suggest you take your “smarmy” hindsight and undemocratic conversations elsewhere.

From: Peter Rickaby, West Park, Selby.

AT this time of national emergency, the Prime 
Minister, Boris Johnson, would do well to appoint Sir Keir Starmer as one of his close advisers.

For there is no one in the country in possession of greater vision this Christmas, courtesy of hours spent studying the art of hindsight.
