Straight to the POINT

÷ MY WIFE and I agreed to open a joint account when we married (Mail). She has the cheque book and I have the paying-in book.

TERRY McDONALD-DORMAN, Darlington. ÷ DID David Cameron visit Lebanon to choose families to live with the Murrells (aka Sturgeons) and Ballses (aka Coopers)? I look forward to seeing them being welcomed into their homes.

SANDRA PROCTOR, Hexham, Northumberland. ÷ IF BRITAIN has agreed to take 20,000 refugees from Syria, why not take in the Yazidis? If any group in the area needs protection, it’s them.

G. TEMBY, Bishop Auckland, Co Durham. ÷ WITH Jeremy Corbyn on the Left-wing, will England’s strike rate increase?

DAVID GRACE, Bourne, Lincs. ÷ NOW Labour have elected a true red as their leader, when are the Conservatives going to elect a true blue?

MIKE WILLIAMS, Camberley, Surrey. ÷ THE logic that argues abolishing the Army would help achieve world peace must also conclude that abolishing trade unions would bring about industrial harmony.

COLIN MacDONALD, Bottesford, Notts. ÷ SPENDING £500 million to take down electricity pylons and bury cables in areas of outstanding natural beauty (Mail): is this a crafty plot to make room for more subsidised wind turbines?

MICHAEL TARRANT, Welling, Kent. ÷ I THOUGHT Yorkshire people were supposed to be known for having a sense of humour . . .

LOUISE STURDY, Ampleforth, Yorks. ÷ WHY all the criticism of Jeremy Corbyn for not singing the National Anthem? He probably doesn’t know the words.
