A quick word
Donald Trump: “Ask not what you have done to your country, ask what you should have done for your country.”
Patrick Robertson, Hobsonville.
Since he has stated how much he loves his MAGA criminals, let him pay the probable $100 million in Capitol damages, for police and FBI costs tracking down his supporters.
Rob Buchanan, Kerikeri.
I knew that someone would back Trump’s version of his inflammatory speech. And I was pretty sure that it would be Tony Molloy. Mike Crosby, Papakura.
Auckland Council uses our rates to feed their ivory tower and anything else will become a targeted rate. I need a swim to cool my outrage. Juergen Paterson, Pt Chevalier.
By not deserting as others have done, Chris Liddell is doing everything possible to ensure a smooth transition. This is in the interest of the US and the rest of the world, including New Zealand.
Rod Lyons, Muriwai.
I would suggest it best to list any West Wing employment of the past four years simply as civil servant, Washington, and leave it at that.
John Ford, Taradale.
It’s about time the “residents of Eden Park” got their heads out of the sand regarding night concerts, night cricket, night rugby, etc. Eden Park has been “in residence” a hell of a lot longer than any of them. Dennis Ross, Glendowie.
It is not the neighbours’ fault Eden Park is an uneconomical mess and they should not have to suffer the cost of trying to bail it out.
Geraldine Taylor, Remuera.
Noise, one of the worst natural environment polluters of our time, has just been given a huge tick with the granting of Eden Park’s resource consent application to host up to six concerts per year. Alex Donald, Mt Eden.
It’s about time so-called yacht races were allowed to go the full distance. Calling them off because of simple things like wind shifts do not justify them being called “races”.
Ian Williamson, Bucklands Beach.
Dean Barker claimed Saturday’s racing was a lottery after he suffered two losses. Sir Ben Ainsley came away with two wins in the same conditions.
Dave Miller, Tauranga.
Thank you America’s Cup organisers, Toyota and TVNZ. What a privilege to be able to watch such a spectacle on “free to air” TV.
Barbara Graham, Tokoroa.
Customers in our local New World were losing their cotton-picking minds because all the Smeg knife blocks and knives had run out. What part of “while stocks last” do the spleen-venters not understand?
Justine Adams, Ohope ¯ Beach.
