Them and us

MPs being given four passes so they and their families and friends could queue-jump to see the Queen lying in state wasn’t a very good advert for levelling up. Yet another example of one rule for them and another one for the rest of us.

TERRY COATES,

Birmingham. WHY the backlash that MPs jumped the queue for the lying in state? in one sense, MPs are, sadly, above royalty and this should be allowed, if only for security reasons.

CHRIS PATE, Worcester.

ANOTHER example of the themand-us society. at such a time, why make an MP any different from the rest of us, not once but four times over? no shuffling for miles, hour after hour, just arrive in your official cars, oblivious to anyone else.

JOAN FROST, Peterborough, Cambs.

WHAT a surprise that grubby MPs scrabbled for extra passes so they could jump the queue to view the Queen’s coffin with their equally grubby chums.

RONALD HOPES, Oakdale, Gwent.

King’s gambit

llanDaFF in Cardiff had an urgent refurbishment of its streets before Friday’s visit by king Charles. Why not invite the king to visit your area and get the council to catch up on its years of neglect of the highways?
