STOCCO Ross in the Knutsford Guardian last week puts forward a very cynical view of George Osborne.

To my mind George has provided good service to Knutsford and the Tatton constituency over the past 17 years as parliamentary candidate, MP and now as Chancellor of the Exchequer.

It is very easy to knock politicians and people in authority, perhaps we should be more grateful that we in Knutsford and Britain live in a stable and democratic country unlike a large part of the rest of the world.

George has over the years helped many individuals, businesses, sports clubs, schools and charities in the area, which has contributed to a prosperous community.

Perhaps Mr Ross would like to let us know what contribution he has made to the local area starting by giving us his address.
