Broadband comrades

-

sir – Press release from the Supreme Leader, Comrade Mcdonnell.

Citizens will be delighted to know that today marks the launch of Loogle and Lacebook, which remove the reactionar­y capitalist content that has debased our national life for too long. This follows the successful rollout of free broadband to all and computers to every household last year.

As you know, it is vital to state security for webcams and Lexa terminals to be active 24/7 in every room from tomorrow, so they must never be disabled or tampered with.

A few citizens have queried the need for this, and Enforcemen­t and Re-education Branch has helped them to understand why it is essential.

I hope all Comrades will agree that this makes sense, but anyone who is unclear can of course raise their concerns via the Ministry of Truth.

sir – Jeremy Corbyn’s proposal of providing free dental examinatio­ns for everyone is yet another of Labour’s fairy-tale policies. I write as a recently retired dentist.

About 50 per cent of courses of NHS dentistry are now provided to patients exempt from dental charges. Children under 18 are already entitled to free dental treatment, yet about 40 per cent still do not attend regularly.

The vast majority of admissions to hospital for preventabl­e dental disease is for dental extraction­s under general anaestheti­c for children under 10. This will not be altered by extending free examinatio­ns to everyone.
