FOOTBALLERS have a new expression for missing an open goal: ‘doing a Theresa’.

GLEN MARRIOTT, Northampton.

SOME people are more worried about the life of a fox than the future of their children.

DAVID BRENT, Ashford, Kent.

IS IT too much to ask politicians to work together to unite this divided country?

PETER MURCH, Tiverton, Devon.

NEVER underestimate the public’s capacity for stupidity.

PETER WESTRIP, Dorchester, Dorset.

JAMES HORNE, Enfield, North London.

IT APPEARS the mantra of the great British public is: ‘Me, me, me and everything for free.’

BRIAN MONEY, Mirfield, W. Yorks.

WHAT will John Prescott be remembered for (Mail)? As a hypocrite for accepting a peerage despite being an outspoken critic of the House of Lords.

ALAN CHARMAN, London SE24.
