Dear Sir/Madam,
ANYONE BUT ENGLAND
I am appalled that police pressure has been put upon retailers in Scotland to stop selling Anyone But England merchandise on the grounds that it might be considered as racist.
It is certainly not racist to hope, as do I, that England is knocked out of the World Cup at the earliest possible opportunity. This is the only way that our national broadcasters may be persuaded to stop showing this surfeit of sport and return to more interesting and uplifting schedules.

Dear Sir/Madam,
ROYAL INSULT
It is singularly inappropriate for Labour's Ian Davidson to criticise the Queen over her request for a paltry increase in the Civil List and to urge her to axe staff instead.
Was it not the former Labour government which poured billions of pounds of taxpayers money into maintaining the lifestyles of bankers who, compared to Her Majesty, have done little or nothing for our country?

Dear Sir/Madam,
SPORT IS A DRUG
If a recreational drug, having been taken by 14,000 people on but one occasion, resulted in 1 death and 15 hospitalisations with over 150 requiring the attention of paramedics, the press and public would quite rightly be seeking for it to be made illegal.
Yet I hear no such clamour anent the Edinburgh Marathon which achieved the same dismal record of pain and injury whilst making our city virtually impassable to the non sportive majority.

Dear Sir/Madam,
CATHOLIC TRUTH
Campaigners demanding that the Pope apologise for Priests having sex with children are well meaning but misguided.
My childhood experiences of sexual attention from both Clerics and Scout Leaders totally put me off homosexuality and I am thankful for their early aversion therapy saving me from a lifetime of disgusting and immoral practices which I might otherwise have found attractive.
It can be no co-incidence that the burgeoning of homosexuality amongst adults has followed directly on from the introduction of child protection measures. Perhaps the traditional practices of the Catholic Church have much to commend themselves.

Dear Sir/Madam,
DON'T OFFEND THE BANKING COMMUNITY
UK Business Secretary Peter Mandelson really should have thought twice before branding Barclays Bank President Bob Diamond as the "Unacceptable Face of Banking" over his alleged £63m pay award.
The Banking Community have long memories and Lord Mandelson's criticism of a such a well respected banker will do him few favours were he ever again to seek to arrange a mortgage with a UK banking institution.

Dear Sir/Madam,
GARDENING WOES
As a keen gardener, I am most annoyed that the Government intends to ban the plant food Mephedrone because a handful of people are claimed to have suffered ill health or death after misusing it as a drug of intoxication.
Will I become a criminal if I stock up on it before the ban? Or will my azaleas have to suffer because of a Nanny State attitude towards the lack of self control of a few selfish drug-taking individuals who will stop at nothing to alter their state of consciousness?

Dear Sir/Madam,
DON'T RISK LOSING CIVIL SERVANTS
The Government was absolutely right to allow the payment of large bonuses to bankers at our state owned banks in order to dissuade them from resigning and taking up better remunerated employment in foreign climes.
Why is the Prime Minister now risking a similar exodus of our senior civil servants by imposing a freeze on their pay at a time when we most need their experience and wise counsel?
