SIR - Reading the account and comments from Worcestershire county councillors over their pay rise made me ponder.

When it comes to the Conservatives an old country saying comes to mind - trust them to have their snouts deepest in the troughs.

As for the others, when asked if they would take the pay rise, they reminded me of criminals on The Bill; when being interviewed they answer, "no comment".
