India putting profit before its population
From: Mr PL Taylor, Milner Street, Lockwood, Huddersfield.
INDIA is one of the world’s most prolific producers of vaccines like Covid-19.
Yet the Indian population have very poor access to the vaccine, most of the vaccine being exported!
It would seem that the Indian hierarchy are putting financial benefits as a more important issue than the health and wellbeing of the populace.
With more sensible foresight, the hierarchy and wealthy of India could avoid civil disobedience and conflict in future times.
The average individuals in the street are rather like a dormant volcano, they can stand the pressure for so long but eventually a catastrophic explosion takes place.
Indian leadership, beware and act wisely.

EVERYONE in the world must be vaccinated against the Covid-19 viruses. Those refusing to be vaccinated are spreaders of the Covid viruses (which are lethal).
It is like a man walking around with a revolver and a bag full of bullets with which to kill people. All you need to do is remove his bullets.
Vaccination similarly removes the possibility of the person from killing others – and themselves.

MATT Hancock’s apology for breaching social distancing rules should have been the end of the matter but, true to form, the Brits showed once again that they love a sex scandal.
I have every sympathy for Mr Hancock and his lady friend as both were clearly “set up” by someone working in the Department of Health and The Sun newspaper.
From: Terry Watson, Adel.
FOR years before Covid, A&E departments have had to treat patients for ailments that should have been seen by their own GP service. Because of the lack of appointments, hospitals are the only answer.
Now, thanks to Matt Hancock, who wanted to end all face-toface appointments with GPs, it’s harder than ever. Sajid Javid must end the practice (Tom Richmond, The Yorkshire Post, July 3).
GPs were warned by NHS chiefs two years ago that by refusing face-to-face appointments they were in breach of contract. It’s worse than ever now; sometimes you can wait for days just for a GP’s callback.

AT the peak of the pandemic we were asked to clap for the NHS staff, to show our appreciation and gratitude. The present government have shown just how much their gratitude and appreciation is worth – just a one per cent pay rise.
Personally I am ashamed of the Government, particularly of Boris Johnson whose life was saved by NHS nurses when he was very ill with Covid. So thank you NHS for your hard work and committed staff, you should be proud.
From: Michael Green, Baghill Green, Tingley.
ON Covid, it’s no good looking to a political opposition to shame the Government into a bit of common sense, because Labour are backing virtually everything the Government has done.
And more. Sir Keir Starmer says nobody should actually have been allowed to enter or leave the country at all. Like the tinpot dictator in North Korea, presumably.
From: Peter Rickaby, West Park, Selby.
WHEN they speak now, former premiers Sir John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Theresa May have all the answers, yet when in office achieved little of consequence.
