Ms Roffey's ''throw away line'', or perhaps a commonly used phrase in her dialogue, re ''Snowy/Joey from Moe,'' at the SGM,
treats an entire community with condescension and disdain, and is disturbing on many levels.
I have lived and taught in and around Moe for 50 years, raising a large family, among many other MCC and MFC members,
and I thoroughly resent and reject Ms Roffey's slur, and lazy stereotyping of a wonderful community.
In doing so, of course, she reinforces, in turn , the types of stereotypes we members all reject, of the ''off to the snow,
range rover driving, arrogant aristocracy. ''
An apology is due, but I won't hold my breath.
