Letters to the Editor The Remittance Man
We have noted from afar, and with interest the continued provocations of your regular contributor "The Remittance Man" in his letters "Tom� Lessons" and "The Fifth Column" a brief epistle in which he effectively condemns the, The Teachers, the Member for Cunningham and the ALP Branch Stackers and rorters. This he appeared to do with complete impunity, until we read the letter "Tom in the Manger" by Greg Platt, who appears to be an official of the CPSU. In his letter Greg also queried as to "What gave Tom the boot from his last ongoing job (and gave him so much free time to compose his Right-wing essays)". Is it possible that this provocative bludger, and professional "agent provocateur" still survives only on receipt of the "remittances' which were originally offered by his long suffering family as an enticement him to leave his birthplace , and create his havoc in someone else�s backyard. But then what could one expect from an inbred, from a nation within a nation, who for six generations have continued to establish themselves through inbreeding, not only within the Pale, but without - through their continued occupation of land in the counties of Wexford, Wicklow and Carlow, this may also explain his obvious right wing views, which on occasion have been compared to the utterances of Cromwell prior to the sacking of Drogheda in 1649. This event giving rise to the only Irish blood in himself or his ancestry which perhaps explains the urbane comfort in the form of homilies offered some time ago to Paddy Gorman. I am assuming that this is the same lad or perpetual snapper who was asked not to return to our school and sent on his way some 40 years ago. Harriet Hopkins Ireland
