Straight to the POINT

÷ JEREMY CORBYN’S anti-terrorist speech can be summed up in one word — appeasement. BRIAN LYNCH, Brentwood, Essex. ÷ I HATE to say this, but Jeremy Corbyn is right: our foreign policy has resulted not only in chaos in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria, but has generated hatred of the West. C. NEWTON, Irthlingborough, Northants. ÷ I’M AMAZED rugby player Jon Magrin was not prosecuted for giving a burglar a black eye. I was under the impression we have to be kind to criminals. DOREEN BANNAN, Ampthill, Beds. ÷ WE STILL have nationalised industries in spirit if not in name: the NHS, the BBC and the Armed Forces. R. J. ANDREWS, Farnborough, Hants. ÷ WOULDN’T it be better to make a donation to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund rather than leave bouquets, balloons, candles and fluffy toys at the scene of the tragedy? ROY CONOLLY, Haverfordwest, Pembs. ÷ THE M&S pink dress is a frock horror (Femail)! The colour, shape, sleeves, neckline — all are ghastly. What were they thinking? GILLIR COGHLAN, Burford, Oxon. ÷ THE best man’s speech at Pippa’s wedding was appalling. If someone had got up and frog-marched him out of the reception, I’m sure everyone would have cheered. NESTA A. JOHNSON, Truro, Cornwall. ÷ LETTING Nicola Sturgeon strut about handing the Scots free prescriptions, free university education and winter fuel payments is like paying a school bully to leave you alone. DAVID EDWARDS, Leighton Buzzard, Beds.
