Straight to the POINT

÷ WHY is there no New Year’s Honour for whoever exposed the liars, thieves and expense fiddlers in the House of Commons?

TIM BURKE, Sheffield. ÷ WE’RE told one reason why some banks pay no corporation tax in the UK is because they deduct the costs of fines and lawsuits. But fines, unless regular and unavoidable, are not tax-deductible.

GEoRGE KIRRIN, Beckenham, Kent. ÷ THE FIFA 16 Football computer game: is the software corrupt?

JoHN CUTTIFoRD, Leicester. ÷ IT’S a no-brainer: engineer Carl Canty to oversee flood defences for the UK. If he can keep the water back from his own property using his own money (Mail), think what he could do with taxpayers’ cash.

BEN HIGGS, Haddenham, Bucks. ÷ IF THERE’S an inquiry into the conduct of our troops in Iraq, I suggest it’s chaired by Sir John Chilcot, after he’s cleared Tony Blair of any wrongdoing.

MIKE THoMPSoN, Plymouth, Devon. ÷ THE British Government should send Tony Blair a retrospective bill for all his free stays in British embassies. The money could help mitigate the refugee problem he helped to create.

BoB MacDoUGALL, Kippen, Stirlingshire. ÷ WHEN an ex-spouse retaliates publicly, exposing details of their former private life, do they think the public sympathises with them? Aren’t they perceived to be as tragic as the person they’re criticising?

R. KERoUAC, Lough, Leics. ÷ WHEN the Labour Party rids itself of leader Jeremy Corbyn — which it certainly will — I hope it considers David Cameron as a replacement, as he would be good at leading a socialist party.

PAUL BRYAN, Lewes, E. Sussex.
