Straight to the POINT

HOW dare Britain and the US threaten sanctions against Syria and Russia — these are the countries defending moderate Syrians against the hordes. PAUL RUANE, Leeds. DOES the BBC audition the Strictly audience to ensure it has the right balance of screamers, clappers, yellers and whistlers? GORDON KINGHORN, Newcastle upon Tyne. HOW long will it be before Miss Piggy announces she was sexually molested by Donald Trump? HARRY SANTIUSTE, Edenthorpe, S. Yorks. A BAWLING, groping, womanising, fame-seeking, mountebank could soon be the president of the greatest country in the world for the next four years. I can’t wait to see the fun. LEN RADLEY, Bournemouth, Dorset. AMERICANISATION of the language has gone too far (Letters). The next bozo to use an Americanism in my presence is gonna get his ass kicked! PHIL HARDING, Manchester. IF any of the ‘children’ allowed into the UK are younger than 16, I will fast for one week. IR SELBIE, Lerwick, Shetland.

MAYBE rising food prices aren’t such a bad thing. We might end up eating less, a much-needed step to reduce obesity. STUART MILLER, Swanley, Kent.

THERE’S a great furore over the removal of toffee deluxe from Quality Street. I was upset about the loss of liquid cherry from Black Magic and lime barrel from Terry’s All Gold, but have maintained a dignified silence.
