Straight to the POINT

÷ IT IS commendable of Stormzy to finance two black students to go to Cambridge (Mail). But imagine the outrage if a white star offered to do the same for two white youngsters . . .

÷ AFTER the ‘imaginative’ casting of an actress in a historical film about a male balloonist, how about a remake of Waterloo with the Duchess of Wellington and a new wartime drama featuring Winifred Churchill?

PETER MORE, address supplied.

÷ THE price of a pint has soared to £3.58 (Mail)? If only — it’s £8 in a new Belfast hotel.

ALEX ESDALE, Belfast.

÷ I SUGGEST the local paying £1.99 a pint in Weston-super-Mare (Letters) is being supplemented by the more expensive prices being charged to holidaymakers.

JOHN BARNETT, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs.

÷ YES, restaurants in Italy take advantage of tourists (Letters). My husband and I were charged three euros each for using knives and forks to eat our lunch at Lake Garda.

Mrs J. DOWSETT, Gosport, Hants.

÷ A BIG age gap between siblings (Mail)? My 20-year-old brother was serving in the Royal Navy when I was born.

PAM BRIGHT, Shoreham-by-Sea, W. Sussex.

÷ KELSEY GRAMMER has had his fourth wife’s name, Kayte Walsh, tattooed on his privates (Mail). I notice he didn’t have this done with his third wife’s name, Camille Donatacci.

KEITH ELLEL, Rishton, Lancs.
