Straight to the POINT

OF COURSE BBC employees are Left-wing (Letters) — they’re intelligent and well-educated.

CHRIS BARTON, Stoke-on-Trent. NOW Lord Lucan has been declared dead (Mail), I’d like to see a blue plaque on our local chip shop where both he and Elvis used to work.

BILLY GATES, Rainham, Essex. IS THIS the real life? Is this just fantasy? A man in charge of a football team to be paid more in 3½ days than our Prime Minister earns in a year.

GRAHAM ANDREWS, Bideford, Devon. I DON’T know about ‘granimosity’ (Mail) but if I’m lucky enough to have a grandchild one day, I’m sure I’ll be overcome with ‘granitude’.

FIONA CRAWFORD, York. DAME HELEN MIRREN has received much praise recently for taste and discretion with her clothing. So that just leaves the foul language . . . JACQUELINE DEEKS, Rustington, Sussex. MY THANKS to the Daily Mail for a jolly good laugh: a photo of Amal Clooney dressed as a five-year-old.

JEAN MORTLOCK, Hornchurch, Essex. THE shambles at Kids Co took place in this country right under our noses. Whatever happens to the billions sent abroad in international aid without being carefully watched? JEAN BLANCHARD, South Benfleet, Essex. HOW many over the age of 75 need to give up their free TV licence to pay for a million-pound football pundit?

WILLIAM LANG, Sulby, Northants.
