Straight to the POINT

THE Chancellor is allocating £500 million to Faslane submarine base. Who else but the SNP would complain about such a massive investment in their country?

KURT CHARLES, Howden, East Yorks. IS IT SENSIBLE to concentrate our submarine fleet in one highly publicised place/target?

S. D. LITTLE, address supplied. ASSISTED dying should be encouraged — if the departing person agrees to nominate a member of the House of Lords as a fellow leaver.

JOHN COLBERT, Walsall. SURELY Jeremy Corbyn’s Alice In Wonderland world is better than Tony Blair’s Billy Liar.

DAVID STEPHENS, Leeds. THE milkman coming round the village (Mail) is a security measure, an extra pair of eyes on the street in the early hours — a benefit people who buy their milk in supermarkets don’t think about.

DAVID EDWARDS, Leighton Buzzard. WHAT was there to watch on BBC1 on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday? Other than the news, EastEnders and the Edinburgh Tattoo there were 13 hours of repeats.

JOY HALL, Retford, Notts. GIVEN dwindling personal service and the rise of online banking, isn’t a ‘Bank Holiday’, as an excuse for national indolence, an out-dated nonsense?

DORIAN WOOD, Castle Cary, Somerset. MIGHT a second year’s increase in fly-tipping (Mail) have anything to do with councils’ rising charges for the removal of unwanted items?

PETER WILSON, Chester. WITH the introduction in London of more laws passing the onus for cyclists’ safety onto others’ shoulders, how long before London cyclists are as revered as cows on the streets of Delhi?

BRIAN LIVING, West Moors, Dorset.
