I WISH to support the views expressed by Frank Field as reported in your news paper that parts of Wirral are like Beirut.

We have four Labour MPs (I Include Ellesmere Port & Neston) and one Government minister, so what have they been doing to benefit this area since they were elected?

Not very much, it would seem. Every large employer has been going through a sacking frenzy with governmental encouragement. Even the NHS is going through sporadic fits of it - you cannot run hospitals if you lose most of the best-trained nurses.

Wirral has lost nearly all of its biggest employers, so where do you look for a job now?

This Government of ours is no longer acting in the interest of the British nation.

When it is prepared to pay £1.7bn pounds of taxpayers’ cash on demand to the EU, it tells me they are more concerned with Europe than with Great Britain.

John McCormack, Bebington.
