The Editor, Sir:

I wonder if you don't think that people are watching your bias and know what you are doing, or don't you even care?

Why all of a sudden, we shouldn't politicise the crime fight? Why didn't you ever write an editorial like Monday's when the People's National Party (PNP) was trying its best to grapple with the problem? Do you believe that the gunman will stop to ask us who we voted for in the last election?

Let me point you to a paragraph in your editorial today. "The assertion is that the death toll has jumped since last September's general election, which brought the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) to office." Why is this an assertion? Don't you know whether this is a fact or not? Why wouldn't you know when you have access to the crime figures?

The 'winning' plans

Why is it that if the JLP had the answer to the crime problem they haven't told us yet? Don't you remember that is one of the planks on which they came to power? I can quite understand that the economy will take some time to fix, but if the PNP was in office for 18 years, and every time the PNP announced a plan it was shot down, even before it had time to work, don't you think it would be fair to assume that during that time that the JLP would have a plan (like they say they had) to set out in detail to us, on day one?

Why is it that since the JLP took office, you and your cartoonists have tried everything to destroy the PNP and drive a wedge between both parties while at the same time calling on the PNP to cooperate with the Government?

I am, etc.,

GEORGE WATSON
