I fear time is up for PM (and I voted for him)

£25 STAR LETTER

At first I thought your column about Boris Johnson was harsh but then I couldn’t really disagree with a word of it. I voted for the Conservatives and I voted for Brexit and, while I think things will get better, I would be a fool to say this is what I imagined.

I have been an admirer of Boris Johnson’s good spirits but I think his time is up. It doesn’t feel to me like there are any grown-ups left in Downing Street and for a prime minister to stand in front of the world’s media at climate talks and be forced to answer questions about his MPs’ sleaze and deny Britain is a corrupt country is just embarrassing.

Haste ye back?

Many Cop26 delegates are visiting Scotland for the first time but the prices they are being charged for hotels and boarding houses are beyond reason. Given that, it seems very unlikely they would ever wish to return.

So well done Glasgow, your greed has killed off what could have been a boost to tourism. The government must also take a share of the blame because they knew how many were coming but made no attempt to organise where they were to live. Ray Mowatt, Balmedie

Game on in Tayside

I believe once Scotland has become independent, Dundee will be recognised as the computer games capital of Europe, if not the world. I have always thought that growing up with The Broons, Oor Wullie and PC Murdoch gave our young brains the spark that flamed into such imaginative and exciting scenarios.

Cyclists in the frame

My father, who was born in 1926, lived in New Winton and was a member of the Tranent cycle club.

After the Second World War he joined the RAF and was posted to Netheravon, Wiltshire where he met and married my mother and had six daughters. He died in 1997. I inherited a bag of photos which I put away in a cupboard until last week when I went through the photos. There are several of the lads who were in the cycle club. The date on the back is 1938.

I am loathe to throw them away so if there is anyone in Tranent or surrounding area who would like them, I’d be happy to send them. Maureen Mitchell, by email

Bad memories

If it was Jo Bloggs who told a court one thing then had second thoughts when evidence suggested otherwise, I guess they would be looking at perjury charges. But when, surprise, the Duchess of Sussex suddenly remembers she did actually tell her press officers to cooperate with her “unauthorised” biographers in direct contradiction of what she had said previously, there are no repercussions at all.

Talk about one law for them and one for the rest of us.

Mask crusader

If I see one more person wandering about with their mask under their nose, I’m going to lose the plot. It drives me daft.
