HONOUR NUKE VETS

In response to a letter last Thursday, I would like to add my support to the ongoing saga regarding the nuclear test veterans.

I served on Christmas Island in the Pacific from 1958 to 1959, and I am one of the lucky ones who is still able to remember the tests. I’m also a member of the British Nuclear Test Veterans Association who do sterling work to help all nuclear veterans.

All other countries who had servicemen and women there have recognised their service. You can get a medal but you have to pay for it, yet people get medals and knighthoods for a lot less.

Come on, Great Britain, get your act together and give credit to all who served there. Maurice Viney, Telford, Shrops

So, Mrs May shed a tear when finding out she was not liked as much as she thought she was after the results of the election (Mirror, July 14). If she has a heart she must be shedding tears every night at the way the poorer people of this country are treated by her and her Government. M George, Biggleswade, Beds

Yet again another drink driver has ruined the life of a teenager and his family, but the judge only gave Owen Finn three years (Mirror, July 15) Why?

This is not enough. If these people can’t get the message that drinking and driving is abhorrent then the penalties have to be harsher. Pauline Hardy, Liverpool
