WHEN I read Mike Sinclair’s allegorical letter (HAS, Nov 23) where he likened the typical avaricious behaviour of the rich and powerful in this “age of greed” as “all drinking from the same trough”.

I thought a more apt description would be “them all p*****g in the same pot”.

Upon reflection this is probably when legendary trickle down happens.

As the pot overflows we, the general public, all get covered in p**s.

Rather like mushrooms, “kept in the dark and occasionally sh*t on”.
