Dear Sir/Madam,

TIME FOR CHANGE

Now that the Euro and Sterling are effectively worth the same, what better time for monetary union?

In these times of economic turmoil, it shouldn't be difficult to persuade the people of Europe to abandon the modern Euro in favour of our historic Pound.

Sincerely,



John Eoin Douglas

Dear Sir/Madam,

IN BAD COMPANY

There seems to be much self-congratulation amongst Northern Ireland's politicians over the pending deal between the DUP and Sinn Fein which could see Stormont take over the running of police, prisons and the courts.

Strange then that there has been a resounding silence at the recent abolition of Northern Ireland's distinctive company law and the transfer of control of the Belfast Companies Registry to Cardiff.

Do Northern Ireland's political classes have no interest in managing these vital functions of state? Or are they too busy winning hearts and minds?

Sincerely,



John Eoin Douglas
