Straight to the POINT

÷ NOTE to the PM and Sir Cover-Up: transparency is the primary antidote to corruption.

BRIAN MURRAY, Solihull, W. Mids. ÷ AS AN 81-year-old TV viewer, I feel as though I’m at a seance: most of the actors in the programmes I watch are now dead (and I hope their descendants profit from the constant re-runs).

ALEC TELFORD, Darlington. ÷ I’VE heard that David Cameron’s two favourite animals are hares and hounds. Surely just coincidence . . .

TIM HOCKEY, Bristol. ÷ WHICH of our MPs still haven’t given their excessive, immoral, pay rise to charity?

S. D. LITTLE, address supplied. ÷ TONY BLAIR, record-breaking Labour Prime Minister, latter-day peace envoy to the Middle East, global governmental consultant, once again overlooked in the Honours List. Is an inquiry needed or am I being cynical?

S. EVANS, Wolverhampton. ÷ TONY BLAIR was Prime Minister because he was deluded. David Cameron is Prime Minister because he is deceitful.

COLIN DRURY, Dinas Powys, Glam. ÷ SIMON DANCZUK appears to be reversing the old adage: turning from gamekeeper into poacher.

BRIAN LIVING, West Moors, Dorset. ÷ I’M TERRIBLY disappointed I didn’t receive a knighthood; I must buy a few sex shops this year.

R. MYERS, Doncaster. ÷ WHICH MP will be the first to claim for their anti-flood Hunter wellies on expenses?

MICHAEL JOSEPH, Lawford, Essex. ÷ SORRY, but a ‘flange of baboons’ (letters) was a joke from Not The Nine O’Clock News and has never been the correct term.

CHRIS DEAN, Ilford, Essex.
