Dear Sir,

I for one am sick of the debate about Clifton. Dr. Brown has said that he is going to stay in his private home.

The police apparently recommended that $80,000 must be spent on making his house secure.

Dr. Brown has said that when he is no longer Premier, the Government can have its extra security features back because he does not want them. So let's get over it and move on.

The UBP is trying to make an issue out of a no-brainer. What do they want?

Should Dr. Brown be forced to live at Clifton even though it looks as if his house is much nicer?

Let's be real. No matter how much the UBP likes to talk about Clifton costing $2 million to renovate, we all know that Clifton is no Buckingham Palace.

So, UBP, stop being so petty because it's making all of your people sound irrational if you consider the only alternative, which is for Dr. Brown to agree to live at Clifton and rent out his house for $25,000 a month. What would that get us?

Dr. Brown would be unhappy living away from his home although he would be getting over $250,000 a year rent for his unhappiness.

The Government would lose out on the $25,000 a month it can get for Clifton.

But, lo and behold, the UBP would be happy and would hopefully shut up. What a stupid result! Just get over it, please.

If Dr. Brown is willing to forego $250,000 a year, he should be applauded, not criticized.

But it is clear the UBP would rather give up the Clifton rent money just to spite Dr. Brown. They hate him so much they can't be reasonable about anything the man does.

I would be happy to hear what the UBP fat cats would do if they could win an election and have their own premier.

Would Dunkley or Gibbons leave their homes to move to Clifton?

Before they utter another word, let us hear a promise from them that they would move to Clifton.

Let's also hear a promise from them that they would ignore police warnings for extra security measures for their homes and families.

Otherwise find something else to rant and rave about since that is all the UBP seems capable of doing these days.

They just nag, nag, nag all the time. Can't we talk about real issues instead of hitting on Dr. Brown 24-7?

Get a life.
