Letters to the Editor

Piers, Piers, Piers


A collection of responses to Pierswatch. Keep them coming! The toad is watching ...

**********************

Re: Piers,

I think the best approach is never to buy the daily telegraph under any condition.

Without his print audience, he's just another nobody like the rest of us. The ultimate punishment for egos like that!

I often wonder why any unionist would support a publication which continually works against their interests. It was with some satisfaction that I noted the Telegraph has a declining circulation.

Stand by for a trip even further down market, perhaps they should rename it "People" or "Picture" and fill it up with tits and bums!

Regards

Phil James

Dear Comrade,

Your Pierswatch article is pure gold! I am a Blacktown born and bred lad who has no time for these namby pamby spoilt little yuppies and there "throw another worker on the fire" attitude,it is good to see someone not afraid to get up this buckingham puppet and call a @#$% a @#$ which I dare say you will agree he is.

I am a new subscriber and recently joined the party (put that off too long) god bless and keep it up, please have a go at this degenerate next time he starts barking like kerry jones that we cant run our own country...god that shits me.

Gavin Fullarton

*************************

How frightened Workers Online must be at Mr Akerman's (or would that be News Limited?)lawyers studiously reading every issue of Pierswatch.

We must be prepared in case those imperialist dogs decide to throw a few legal grenades.

I'm embarrassed to admit it but this is an emergency and I feel it's time to come out of the closet.

For the last few years my comrades in Australia have sent me every column Mr Akerman has written and I have bought every wine he recommended.

He has taught me everything I know about drinking in moderation.

Despite having to take out a third mortgage on the Dapto semi I was going to have as my retirement retreat I've never been a happier quaffer.

It means though I have an abudance of left over wines stored under the kitchen sink from when my palate was not "Piers" educated and I find I just can't face them.

I would like to donate them to your fine publication because comrades the world over know raffling dubious wine is the best and most effective way to raise funds.

You'll have to pick them up though because I can't afford the air freight.

Yours in sedimental solidarity,

Boris Yeltsin
