Straight to the POINT

I TRUST Theresa May’s judgment to govern my country, but not to buy my skirts.

SANDRA PARSoNS, Keston, Kent. LLOYDS Bank pays only 0.25 per cent (Letters), but the Government assumes pensioners earn 10 per cent on their savings. If this imaginary interest puts their earnings above the minimum income level, they can’t get meanstested support.

RICHARD BRuCE, Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. IF BREXIT is like resigning from your golf club (Letters), do the club’s secretary and committee have any influence on the way you run your home?

WAYNE BRoWN, Leicester. SO WHAT if there are privileged white activists supporting the Black Lives Matter campaign. It is a point of principle, so good on them.

DIANE SILVA, Lytham, Lancs. MARK CARNEY can afford to be serene regarding the Bank of England’s reduction in interest rates. He’s not the one who is paying for it. C. F. ALLEN, Gloucester. WORKING to support a family of ten sounds stressful, but I quite fancy being a student at the French government’s expense. P. TAYLoR, Christchurch, Dorset. THE jobless migrant who wants a bigger house has been here for four years — on an NHS course that lasts only three years. DAVID STuCKEY, Stevenage, Herts. MY PARENTS brought up eight children in a two-up and two-down. We slept five in a bed, with three at the top and two at the bottom. FRANK HARDY, Sheffield. THERE is no evidence children attain higher academic standards by wearing black leather shoes instead of trainers. Mrs B. K. WALLIS, address supplied.
