Straight to the POINT

THE hysterical folk of Muswell Hill (Mail) should visit Brighton’s many shops selling things adorned with Union Jacks and extolling Great Britain. Most of the items are made in China and the shops owned by Indians. How multinational can you get?

NICK WILLIAMS, Brighton, E. Sussex. A CARE home with, say, 50 residents paying £1,000 a week each, plus government funding, failing to turn a profit must either have very bad managers or someone ripping off the system.

JACK MATTHEWS, Ilford, Essex. HYACINTH MERKEL should never have invited people to her candlelit supper on Facebook; everyone came and trashed her house.

CHARLOTTE JOSEPH, Lawford, Essex. WHY on earth would Samantha Cameron think she has anything to offer the fashion world (Mail) when she paid someone £45,000 a year out of public funds to dress her?

MIKE WRIGHT, Reading, Berks. THERESA MAY’S ‘red, white and blue’ Brexit may excite Ukip and ‘middle England’ Tories, but down here in Cornwall we see things in black and white and see no compelling case to leave the EU.

TIMOTHY JAMES, Penzance, Cornwall. HE’S won them the Premier League and reached the Champions League knockout stages, but there are still some Leicester City fans who want Claudio Ranieri’s head. There’s no helping some people.

GRAHAM WATSON, Upminster, Essex. JEANNE LOADER is incorrect (Letters). Zara Phillips’s daughter and expected child will be second cousins to George and Charlotte. They are first cousins once removed to William and Catherine.

Mrs J.C. BYRNE, Harrow, Middx. COLOURING books (Mail)? Don’t forget, the Duchess of Cambridge read history of art at St Andrew’s University.
