Letter: I wish we had unionist politicians with the insight of Owen Polley

A letter from David Barbour:

Owen writes a column for the News Letter every Monday. I wish we had representatives with similar insight.

The position that we are in seems to support any supposition that there is a team of people in high places who want us out of the UK and into a united Ireland. This drift has been going on, where every opportunity seems devised toward this end.

We do not need more unionist upstarts, who make hay for their own self-interests, but genuine leaders willing to study our sad case and to take appropriate action.

David Barbour, Coleraine
