We'll see who eels offended

John Patterson (Letters, September 26) isn't impressed by my reaction to John Arnone's attack on the prime minister.
However, I don’t think Pheu Thai voters, and perhaps even some others with a different political allegiance, would be hugely impressed by anyone, and especially a foreigner, declaring that their prime minister’s existence was an insult to them, their country and their government!
I made it clear in my letter that the prime minister should be criticised, and I see no reason why she should be given an “easy ride”. However, I guess we will just have to wait until the next election to find out if the electorate agrees whether it’s been insulted.
