Straight to the POINT

÷ IF JANE PARK gets £1 million compensation because winning £1 million on the Lottery made her miserable (Mail), will she sue again?

RUTH BARTLETT, Harefield, Middx. ÷ WE COULD have solved the refugee problem on Bafta night by simply adding one to each of the goody bags given to the luvvies as they departed.

CHARLOTTE JOSEPH, Manningtree, Essex. ÷ FOREIGN aid for the alleviation of poverty is all very well (Letters), but nations can advance only by trade and industry. The final ‘D’ in DFID stands for Development, not Dependency.

KEN WARREN, Sidmouth, Devon. ÷ WORKING until 74 before getting your pension might be OK if you’re dozing in the House of Lords (Mail), but who would hire a 74-year-old steeplejack?

H. COX, Droitwich Spa, Worcs. ÷ DOES the Government not realise that every robot in the workplace means one fewer human worker paying tax and National Insurance?

W. BULLOCK, Trowbridge, Wilts. ÷ WE NOW have on TV celebrity narrow boat cruising with (Lord help us) celebrity dog walking to come. Can the barrel take much more scraping?

BOB PHILLIPS, Bristol. ÷IF COUNCIL tax bills rise by more than inflation (Mail), what’s the betting the councillors will give themselves an inflation-busting pay rise?

ALEX GODDARD, Lincoln. ÷ AT THE end of the last football season, Leicester City players queued up to demand huge salary increases. Will they be queuing up in ten weeks’ time to hand the money back?

JOHN BENNETT, Upholland, Lancs. ÷ HAVING watched our representatives in Parliament on TV, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Speaker should be replaced by a dinner lady. I’m willing to come out of retirement.

CATHERINE FOSTER, Sheffield.
