The French can stuff their turkey!
THE French are trying to scupper our Christmas by not sending their turkeys to us. ‘Je m’en fous’ (‘I don’t care’) is one of the more useful French phrases I can still recall from my schooldays. I’ve been on at my wife for years to serve up steak and kidney pie, mash and veg for Christmas dinner instead of turkey and all the trimmings. We could celebrate our latest victory over Brussels by having toad-in-thehole or sausages in yorkshire puddings with onion gravy. Bliss! They would go down well with a glass of English wine or a pint of bitter. But I will still stick to Christmas pudding with rum sauce!

I’D RATHER sit in my cold, candlelit house on Christmas Day, eating home-made bread and local cheese and drinking water, than capitulate to the French!

IF THE French stop us having turkey at Christmas, we could always eat cake. WALTER SMITHWHITE, South Shields, Tyne & Wear.
FORGET the turkey, Boris. All I want for Christmas is for Britain to be finally free of the pointless EU and puerile behaviour of the French.
JOHN EVANS, Wokingham, Berks.
IF AT Christmas we have a turkey shortage, will MPs be roasted?
Politicians, like turkeys, gobble via a loud, rapid gurgling sound that passes for debate. The electorate has become more volatile with swings between candidates as their parties show their plumage (political manifesto). yet voters are not feeling that politics is ‘Bootiful’ with the turkey twizzlers in charge. We feel that we are getting plucked by taxes and rising living costs before being stuffed, not with sage and onion, but the consequences of unpalatable policies.
MARK WALKLATE, Crewe, Cheshire.
WILL it be a catastrophe if we can’t gorge ourselves sick and get lots of cheap Chinese-made rubbish as presents on December 25?
