Dear Sir/Madam,
MORAL BAR TO LEADERSHIP
Moral standards in New Labour have slipped considerably if they are able to elect as Leader a man who has unrepentedly sired a son out of wedlock with another child on the way.
Ed Miliband claims that he and the mother of his children "have not got round to marrying yet". At a time when even the homosexuals are clamouring to be allowed access to the institution of marriage, the electorate will never accept him as Prime Minister if he treats it in such an offhand way (not to mention inflicting the mark of the bastard on his unfortunate offspring).

Dear Sir/Madam,
INDIAN PALACES
Gross insensitivity has been shown by Western sportspeople and managers in their disparaging remarks anent the standard and condition of accommodation at the Delhi Commonwealth Games.
Do they not realise that this accommodation is of a quality that many Indians will never be able to afford and about which they can only dream?

Dear Sir/Madam,
POPE FAILS IN CHILD PROTECTION
It was gratifying to hear the Pope finally making clear his views on paedophile priests. However, I was appalled to see that he was not wearing a seatbelt whilst travelling along Edinburgh's Princes Steet in the Popemobile.
Did he not realise that he was being viewed by thousands of impressionable young people? The Holy Father, above all people, should be aware that child protection requires an holistic approach.

Dear Sir/Madam,
BOOK NOT FOR BURNING
I'm glad to see that the American pastor who intended to burn the Koran has suspended his plans.
Perhaps he would have been wiser to threaten to photocopy a page from the Koran and leave it under the doormat of his church. This would undoubtedly have fulfilled his mission to insult Muslims, but would not have involved the totalitarian connotations (or incendiary risk) of actual bookburning.

Dear Sir/Madam,
PAPAL SECURITY
Why do police feel the need to spend millions of pounds on security for the Pope's visit?
Any devout Catholic knows that the prayers of the faithful are all that are required to keep the Holy Father safe if that be God's will.

Dear Sir/Madam,
TIME FOR A BLESSING?
The Edinburgh Tram Scheme has been beset with so many problems of late that I have even heard it described as "God forsaken".
Now that it has been decided to move (at not inconsiderable expense) the tram currently on display in Princes Street so that the "Popemobile" might not be obscured, perhaps the Holy Father could be persuaded to pause for a few moments and bless the tram and its rails.
It certainly could do no harm and his blessing could well help to restore peace and harmony to the relationship between the tramway's promoters and contractors thus promoting an early opening of the line.

Dear Sir/Madam,
PROHIBITION - NOT MINIMUM PRICING
I have just returned from the Campaign for Real Ale's annual Great British Beer Festival in London to which I was invited in order to see "responsible drinking" being undertaken.
This disgusting experience merely confirmed that making alcohol expensive is not any kind of answer. It cost £10 for admission and another £3 to obtain a glass before a single drop could be sampled. Yet, I could see considerable numbers of people whose consumption had been such that they would not have been legally (and, in several cases, physically) capable of driving a motor vehicle.
Only complete prohibition can save the health and morality of our nation.
