Your Letters: December 21

THANKFUL FOR THE COUNTRYSIDE

Thank goodness for the Shropshire countryside to remind Uncle Norbert and I that the UK is well worth living in, despite the best efforts so far of the Labour Government. I thought Labour wanted to ban excessive hot air, not add to it.

Being in Opposition was easy, vote for us and will right all the wrongs of the past. Being in Government is difficult, especially when a good chunk of the Labour Party would much rather fix the problems of Gaza rather than get their hands dirty dealing with UK problems.

Uncle Norbert and I agree that if you want to fix public services, then we will have to pay for it through higher taxes and maybe expect the public sector sickness absence to drop from six per cent a year.

If you want to stop illegal immigration then for a start withdraw from the European Court Of Human Rights. The UK has enough laws to protect us. For new legal immigrants there should be no state aid for 10 years and any medical costs should be charged for those 10 years.
