Straight to the POINT

AMONG the rapidly deteriorating Coronation Street plots and total loss of its once brilliant humour, I must point out to the wretched Platt family that their baby, Lily, has been missing for several months and they’ve all failed to notice.

SANDRA JAMES, Stafford. I TAUGHT for 40 years and encountered some awful handwriting, but when I saw Ed Miliband’s (Mail), I was shocked. He must be a crazy mixed-up kid with aspirations well beyond his ability.

MAGGIE PALMER, Rainham, Kent. AFTER all the huff and puff, the election choice is simple: do you trust the people who took the country to the edge of financial ruin or the people who brought it back from the brink?

ED LANE, Spilsby, Lincs. NO DOUBT Miley Cyrus thinks she’s fashionable with her breasts on display in front of Paul McCartney (Mail). To me she looks like one of those ladies in an Amsterdam window late at night.

JULIE PERKIN, Downend, Glos. WHY the surprise at a 25 per cent increase in the number of people diagnosed with dementia? After GPs were given an extra £55 per diagnosis, I’m surprised there hasn’t been a 100 per cent increase.

WILLIAM SMITH, Carlisle. THE UN says Europe should take more refugees, but the population density in Europe is 74 per square kilometre. In Africa, it’s 36 and in the U.S., 32. Europe is full up.

IAN BALDWIN, Hingham, Norfolk. BY MY calculations, Labour has already spent the £2 billion mansion tax on essential projects about 27 times.

RAY H. DOVER, Ingatestone, Essex. ÷ I NEVER wash my car (Mail) as I believe that a layer of dirt helps protect the bodywork from scratches. When I part-exchanged a car, the dealer commented on how good the bodywork was.

MAVE DELLOR, Leamington Spa, Warks.
