Straight to the POINT

÷ YIPPEE! No more tax to pay on our savings interest (Mail). Or rather, no more tax to pay on zero interest. Thanks for nothing, George.

W. NUNN, Stowmarket, Suffolk. ÷ TODAY’S supposed ‘action’ stars look like children wearing their dads’ suits (Mail). Imagine Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt storming the El Dorado saloon to fight it out with John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. They’d have to take Liam Neeson with them.

MIKE O’HARA, Birchington, Kent. ÷ FORMER prime minister and Middle East envoy, Tony Blair, says the world is a safer place without Saddam Hussein. Perhaps, but it would have been a damn sight safer without Tony Blair and George W. Bush.

PETER STONEHOUSE, Wembley, Middx. ÷ I COULDN’T help noticing how Churchillian Ed Balls looked alongside Miliband giving his Budget response. No, not the statesman, the car insurance nodding dog.

DAVID SUNDERLAND, Leeds. ÷ WITH all the fuss about Jeremy Clarkson, it seems a shame to waste his last three Top Gear programmes. Could they not just be shown on a more suitable channel: CBeebies or CBBC?

ROBERT DELUCE, Crick, Northants. ÷ BEFORE Tony Blair is transported to Mars (the quicker the better), he’ll want to make sure there’s an HSBC bank branch there.
