Straight to the POINT

HOLDING a Grand Prix race in London would be a disaster. The cyclists wouldn’t stop, despite cars coming at them at 200mph, and any cars going into the pits would be given parking tickets.

DEREK TRAYLER, Hornchurch, Essex. DID the Apache tribe complain when U.S. paratroopers yelled ‘Geronimo!’ when leaping from an aircraft into battle?

P. ARMITAGE, Manchester. THANKS a bunch for the feature claiming ‘old age now doesn’t start until 76’ (Mail) — which appeared on my 76th birthday!

HEATHER WARD, Stretton, Derbys. PERHAPS the Chinese president and his team (Mail) were expecting sweet and sour corgi . . .

MARTIN HEARD, Greasby, Cheshire. EVEN the Eurovision Song Contest wants the UK out of Europe – 24th out of 26.

MIKE HIGGINS, Dundee. BORIS JOHNSON should stop trying to be popular and inclusive, eating ice cream and pulling pints as if that was what he normally did.

BOB PHILIPS, Brislington, Bristol. TO paraphrase the old Tizer drink advert: will Damian beat Idris to be a spy?

PETE DICKERSON, Ryde, Isle of Wight. I THOUGHT it was Nick Clegg and Vince Cable who made David Cameron look ineffective, but he doesn’t need any help, does he?

D.W.G. HANNS, Fareham, Hants. MR CAMERON said he would reduce immigration to ‘tens of thousands’. He didn’t say how many tens of thousands. MICHAEL ADAMS, Rugby, Warwks.

KERRY NEEDHAM deserves great sympathy for the loss of her son Ben, 25 years ago on Kos. But sending ten British detectives over there to relaunch the investigation into his disappearance (Mail) is chasing rainbows (at taxpayers’ expense).

TERRY HICKMAN, Southampton.
