O Sung wu, they are standard letters he sends everyone. Sorry to break your heart.

Just the other day my neighbour told me how she despised Alan Jones and considered him to be a dangerous man.With a few short questions I found out that she had never listened to his programme on 2GB and being the good old retired lefty school teacher had passed judgement without any facts or intellectual rigor.

Regardless of our political differences,I still installed all her smoke detectors for free and loaned her a fridge when hers failed.

You see Rainer,even though all you weak kneed lefties cry foul too often,the real producers in our society will still provide sustenance,even though you and your ilk continually bite the hand that feeds you.

Nice story, Arjay. It says something about you and your neighbour, but not about Jones or the 'Jonestown' book. Taking after Pericles' first post, can you tell us whether you have read 'Jonestown'? No, don't worry, I'm sure you have. You'd never be like that neighbour who had a view about AJ without listening to him, would you?

PS, I've helped my neighbour, an elderly widow, too. I have no idea whether she is a leftie or listens to AJ. Wouldn't matter. I gather that your last para is tongue in cheek. Humour on OLO, well done.

Congratulations Arjay, it appears that you’ve now entered the hard-nosed world of politics in a big way.

That you ruthlessly interrogated a little old lady to ascertain if she did or did not listened to Gloria on the wireless is just rat cunning to me. Was this conditional on whether or not you did some chores for her? What a charmer!

It’s simply a breathtaking demonstration of how to politically wrong-foot a struggling pensioner. But wait, that’s not all.

Your intentions were much more sophisticated it seems. You psycho analysed this unsuspecting lady to reveal (for our humble benefit) that she had Leftist/Bolshevik/ perhaps even communist ideological sentiments!! What a great accomplishment! What a merciless political sleuth you are! I’m in awe of your powers of persuasion and deduction. Bravo!

But hang on - has it ever occurred to you that your dear old neighbour might just be politically astute enough to determine that Jones wasn’t worth listening to twice, let alone once?

As for your hand-biting feeders quip, I’ll put my own personal work history and that of my family up against you and yours any day. Let’s see who worked and struggled and who profiteered from unearned privileges. Ready when you are

Oh Gord, the Alan Jones thing. David Marr and half of Oxford St, most of Macquarie Street and even half of Tamworth knew about Alan Jones' escapes, it's just that it's too nauseating to think about.

I certainly hope he is not gay. How embarrassing for the gay community! Haven't they suffered enough?

The problem with the "Nouveau Royales" is that they tend to be the Swiss guard in covering up libertine indulgences for the rich and powerful. People in this country are either too frightened, stupid, or careless to want to know the truth. Such a public figure who has a reputation of probing private lives cannot in turn expect his private life to be treated any differently. If Allan Jones wants his private life protected so much, then it would serve him well to stay out of the private lives of so many ordinary people and innocent people: he loves to bully. We are not talking about an innocent victim here, we are talking about a pit-bull terrier.

In this country, we have expert brown nosers. They so elegantly crawl and grovel to crown and establishment with more ease than a dung Beatle in an abattoirs.

Jones has no respect for privacy--deserves no respect in kind. No one is really interested in this old fat comb-over and his whizzer in local dunnies at train stations or football locker rooms. Apparently children are involved. It is just that he is such a tired old bore.

Likewise, Flintstone must be ready for the glue factory by now. I hear we have a shortage of fossil fuels.

Too right saintfletcher, nobody cares if the 'fat old comb over' is gay. But nobody has the guts to consider that kids are involved - thats not homosexuality, its paedophilia, still illegal in this country, even if shockingly common among rightwing fundamentalists and routinely played down by media and politicians.
Any Public Prosecutor with morals or ambition has a unique opportunity.

Arjay, don't let the critics get you down. Your talent to assessing the political correctness of neighbours will be a rewarding sideline in this Fourth Reich
