Shame of Netflix in depicting the death of Diana

-

Following your exclusive with Father Yves-Marie ClochardBo­ssuet, the priest who gave Princess Diana the last rites and who has condemned The Crown for depicting her fatal crash, this whole show should be cancelled.

It’s disgusting that they are allowed to take the private lives of living people and trash their reputation­s with all this made-up rubbish.

These are real human beings and their private lives should not be turned into some soap opera with everything twisted or exaggerate­d for the sake of entertainm­ent.

I understand why some people are sensitive to the series they are filming. However, no one was up in arms about previous seasons because we didn’t live at the same time as them. They were still real people.

H. Young, London ‘Shame’ is clearly a word unknown to Netflix. I cancelled my subscripti­on two years ago. Depicting Diana’s death for ‘entertainm­ent’ value is just a vulgar attempt at money-making and I’m glad they won’t be getting a penny from me.

Why should people be upset by this when real footage of Diana’s final hours at the Ritz and her fatal journey to the Alma tunnel are often shown in various documentar­ies?

Infamous five

Humza Yousaf, our so-called Health Secretary, casually announces it will take five years to sort out the abominable state the SNP administra­tion has made of the NHS in Scotland. Five years!

Upon what basis and informatio­n has he made this comment? Where is the detail of his ‘five-year plan’?

As with every shambles this totally incompeten­t and unaccounta­ble SNP/Green administra­tion creates, there is never an explanatio­n, informatio­n or detail provided to the public. It is long overdue this incapable lot are replaced.

Deserving workers

For all this paranoia about immigratio­n, the fact is we and the rest of Europe have an ageing population and are reaching the stage where there are too few workers to support us old folks.

We either need new, younger blood or we need to invest in more efficient machinery to get things done. I guess we need to be a bit more welcoming, process asylum seekers quickly and put the deserving ones to work.
