Royal runaways will soon have nothing to say

£25 STAR LETTER

I feel as if I’ve watched so many clips of Harry and Meghan’s Netflix series that I’ve already seen it but don’t know if I’ll be wading through the rest. I might though.

It is ridiculous that such a privileged couple leading a gilded life can find so many things to be unhappy about but a couple with their profile talking about issues like racism and mental health must surely be a good thing.

I’m sure that’s not the view in Buckingham Palace but maybe the Royals should stop being furious and start listening. Presumably the two of them will run out of steam eventually. Meghan has already spent more time talking about how horrible the royal family is than she did actually being part of it. Gillean Macdonald, Glasgow

Lit up with anger

I have no objection to the business Stephanie Smyth is running but do not think it has any place in The Sunday Post.

To read an article about someone selling a Christmas home decorating services starting from £300 when there are a huge number of people being forced to decide whether to feed their families or heat their homes angered me beyond belief. I have to wonder how inadequate something like this makes them feel.

Articles like this belong in glossy magazines if anywhere and not in a popular Sunday newspaper. Catriona Thomas, by email

Strike one?

I’m not sure if the unions have as much public support as they might think. Everyone knows how tough things are but some of the strikes called over Christmas are too much and some of the pay demands seem crazy to me.

Some of the teachers and NHS staff should try the private sector and see how the other half live. It’s hard for everyone.

The deal-makers

With reference to the letter asking where Acas was in the current work disputes[sunday Post last week].

It is there, ready to help, but needs to be asked by one or both of the sides to mediate. Presumably neither side wants to do so, which does not bode well for a solution.

I have sought help from Acas myself, when my union did not. In fact it refused to represent me further when I sought help from Acas but Acas successfully negotiated a satisfactory agreement in a matter of a few days.

I would recommend them to anyone feeling they are up against stubborn bureaucratic institutions.

Shock results

I was rewatching the second series of Maggie, the old BBC Scotland soap, and there must have been a swift pigeon flapping between the Scottish Exam Board office in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Ross-shire in the summer of 1981.

Most pupils had to wait longer for their O Levels and Higher results that year due to a civil servants’ strike but Maggie got her results posted to her gran’s house in the Highlands, certificate and all. Maybe because her results were great, she got special treatment? Clare Mccann, Wishaw
