How absolutely typical of Mr Levitt. Clearly everyone else was to blame for the manifold reasons why Mr Seppman was unable to see Mr Levitt at his office in Westminster, including Mr Seppman for even considering travelling to London without first consulting his MP. It is interesting to note that all the other drivers representing the fuel protestors managed to see their MPs without the military precision planning Mr Levitt seemed to require.

And as for the comment that only Mr Seppman turned up from the High Peak, is he trying to imply that Mr Seppman is the only person in the area with concerns about the rising cost of fuel? If so, he is very much mistaken or rather out of touch.

As for the response to Mr Seppman's letter, delivered with Mr Levitt's and in particular New Labour's sneering and patronising manner, could I suggest to Mr Levitt that he considers Crewe and Nantwich, Henley and Glasgow East before being so completely dismissive of the voters' efforts and concerns.
