Straight to the POINT

÷ WHAT is to stop the Chinese from using the nuclear power stations they are to construct in Britain as readily installed massive nuclear bombs triggered from China?

DEREK BRADLEY, address supplied. ÷ WILL someone tell Tony Blair that his mealymouthed apology is not accepted and he should be in the Tower of London for treason. Nothing will bring back the many who died in vain.

JEAN GOUGH, Sheffield. ÷ WHY are so many people, especially so-called TV celebs/announcers wearing poppies halfway through October, as to me it cheapens the 11th of the 11th. Surely a week or so before is soon enough to show the respect it deserves?

ALLAN J. EYRE, Middlesbrough. ÷ PEOPLE are complaining that George Osborne’s planned tax credit cuts could cost them just under £14.50 a week. Hang on, did they learn that on Sky TV, at about the same cost?

KAY McCORMICK, address supplied. ÷ SO, GEORGE OSBORNE is ‘comfortable’ with cutting tax credits, saying the country cannot afford them. But it can afford a train that costs £50 billion that gets to the Midlands 20 minutes quicker.

JAMES LEE, London WC2. ÷ SUGAR tax? Brilliant idea — it might stop the old curmudgeon appearing on TV so much.

SIMON CAMPBELL, Glasgow. ÷ I MIGRATED from BBC to ITV 10 o’clock news to get away from Left-wing political spin. Now Tom Bradby is turning ITV News At Ten into a personal and highly political commentary. Where can I go for straightforward no-nonsense ‘news’?

GRAHAM COOPER, Shepton Mallet, Somerset. ÷ I’M NOT surprised the Chinese haven’t introduced human rights. They’ve seen how our human rights laws have worked out over the past 20 years.
