Looking good

Thanks to Eastgate Mall and the children of the Bromley School Kapa Haka Group for a sunny spot in a gloomy week. These children put on a great display entertaining the crowd. They were loud, tuneful and cheerful (their smiling faces were lovely).

These children of today looked pretty good to me. LOIS MARSH

Bromley article featured American scientists telling us not to worry.

I have found the trend to be that when people say ‘‘peace and safety’’, sudden destruction has a nasty habit of making an abrupt appearance, particularly when it involves Americans and their judgments or opinions.

Far be it from me to drone on about the vicissitudes and indeed sheer viciousness of US and Nato foreign policy initiatives, and/or the hypocrisy, mendacity and duplicity of the new aristocracy and their technicians, or indeed speculate as to their involvement in the devolution of Western civilisation and the creation of their own private Eden, aka Agenda 21.

I just laugh at their plans and remember the words of that won- derful old Negro spiritual: ‘‘Run to rocks, rocks won’t you hide me.’’

You may run from Christchurch, but you cannot run from Christ. I WILLIAMS
