Straight to the POINT

JEREMY CORBYN complains that a Trident missile test went dangerously off-course (Mail). Has he looked at the Labour Party recently?

TREVOR COLLINS, Grimsby, Lincs. PERHAPS that errant Trident missile, heading for the U.S., knew something we didn’t . . .

DAVE OVERTON, Willoughby, Lincs. THE NHS must be ‘the envy of the world’ (Letters): the whole world is using it.

KENNETH OSWALD JONES, Rock Ferry, Wirral. HAVING read of the SNP’s latest plans to hit Scottish motorists (Mail) even harder, and the story of the roads maintenance budget in Scotland being only a third of that in England — is this part of the ‘better quality of life’ referred to by Finance Minister Derek Mackay?

E. NICHOLLS, Dunfermline, Fife. THERE nothing new under the sun: pop star Ed Sheeran’s new hairstyle (Mail) is a modern version of Arthur Scargill’s.

PAUL RUANE, Leeds. IS it true that ordinary voters are terribly divided about leaving the EU? I voted Leave, but my two best friends voted Remain. They’re still my two best friends.

SUE ASHCOMBE-HURT, Sandbach, Cheshire. RHYMING slang’s not so random after all: too much burnt toast and you’ll end up brown bread.

VINCENT HEFTER, Richmond, Surrey. I CAN’T imagine reading an epitaph reading: ‘I shouldn’t have eaten that last roastie!’ (Mail). Could the money wasted by the Food Standards Agency be transferred to the NHS?

PATRICIA MEAD, Hayle, Cornwall. A CRISIS in recruiting infantry personnel (Mail) comes as no surprise. The Government did the dirty on 20,000 people made redundant in the review of the Forces. Most were within 12 weeks of receiving their pensions at 45/50. Redundancy forced them to wait another 10 to 15 years.
