It is disappointing when a paper with such a reputation publishes an editorial that appears hastily prepared. I have known Guardian over the years to present very incisive and deeply researched editorials that often held readers spellbound. I expected to see a balanced presentation of the views on the issue at hand. I for example know that the reason given by the government borders on protecting local assembly plants. So by giving the impression here of ignorance of government’s intentions smacks of either ignorance or a poorly prepared editorial or bias. We expect better quality editorials. I’ve been a reader of your publication for more than 3 decades now. I know what I am talking about.
