WHILE playing catch-up, having left it too late, Boris Johnson inappropriately joked to manufacturers of ventilators as being ‘part of his last-gasp strategy.’

MR Schofield – various Examiner Feedbacks – doesn’t understand my answers to his questions.
My question asked if he knew the difference between billions and percentages, and if so could he explain why UK exports to the EU fell by 60 per cent in January 21? That is two questions, not one. First question – do I know the difference between a billion and a percentage?

THERE has been far too much negativity in the letters page in recent times, so I would like to change the tone by expressing some real sympathy with the current plight of ‘Call me Dave’ Cameron. Just imagine what the poor bloke must be going through.
He must feel like he has had part of his birthright cruelly snatched away right at the point when he was about to cash in big style.

Do people not understand that the real reason anyone who has been to Eton and was a member of the Bullingdon Club enters politics, is so they can ennoble and enrich their family, friends, acquaintances and Conservative Party donors at the tax payers’ expense?
It is practices like this which the greatness of our country was built on and without them, who knows if we would have had any kind of an
Empire at all. There are, of course, now going to be various inquiries into what has been going on.
I hope they get right to the bottom of things, with the key question I would like to see answered being ‘How I too can also get my snout in the trough’?
