SIR – Having vented his spleen about wanting to cull seagulls, which are eating waste food thrown around by humans, Councillor Alan Amos has been ranting again. This time he’s complaining that the Royal Family is a “group of hangers on who have not lifted a finger in their life”.

I hope that he can do 300 public engagements a year like Prince Philip when he’s 92. The Queen is never judgemental nor complains.

Mr Amos, as one of Britain’s biggest political turncoats, needs to remember that his full-time career as a politician is funded by county and city taxpayers who may not agree with him.
