There was an excellent letter in the Shropshire Star (£) last night about the global warming scam … The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen, Norway. Reports from [...]

Here are some letters I’ve had printed in the Shropshire Star recently (italics are bits they edited out before printing) … English are not to blame for turbines For the last few weeks there have been a couple of letters a week complaining about the proposed new wind turbines to be erected in Wales “for [...]

I had a letter published in the Shropshire Star the other day: Easy way of saving NHS cash in England With all the talk of cutting services at the Princess Royal Hospital, it is worth bearing in mind a few things.  Firstly, the English NHS has been underspending for the last few years by a [...]

It’s been a while since I wrote a letter to the Shropshire Star. This one was published in tonight’s Shropshire Star … It’s not too late to hear out English nationalists It’s a little late for John Denham to be worrying about the emergence of white supremacists in England when he has served in a [...]

I had this letter in the Shropshire Star the other night … Equality for men? David Wright MP has endorsed Harriet Harman’s proposed new equalities bill (Shropshire Star, April 28). His endorsement would be more convincing if half of it hadn’t been copied word for word from Harriet Harman’s own speech on the bill. Equality [...]

This excellent letter appeared in the Shropshire Star on Saturday: England is denied EU aid benefit by Labour The Labour Government is denying England a windfall from the European Union yet it is making sure that Wales, Scotland and Ulster benefit. The fall in the value of the pound has increased the value of euro-denominated [...]

Well, what a bumper day this has been for letters. First of all there’s this one in the Shropshire Star, in response to the council announcing that they’re going to put in average speed cameras on one of the safest roads, relatively speaking, in the borough: Average speed trap not fair for motorists Councillor Bentley [...]

The following letter was published in tonight’s Shropshire Star. Unfortunately, whilst editing it they took out “in England” from the end of the first line which makes the whole letter ambiguous. Kind of PM to think of England How kind of Gordon Brown, the MP for Kikcaldy and Cowdenbeath in Scotland, to find some loose [...]

This was published in the Shropshire Star last night, rather amateurishly edited: New flag pointless It’s a shame readers have been unable to see John Yates’s [sic] proposed new British flag. Mr Yates has spent 30 years agonising over the exclusion from Wales that he hasn’t noticed most Welsh people don’t consider themselves British any [...]

This letter was in the Shropshire Star last night.  The title wasn’t my idea … Why can’t we all just be Brits Great Britain won its first gold medal of the Olympics on Sunday.  The BBC were beside themselves and delighted in telling the world that the medal winner was Welsh and it was the [...]

This is in tonight’s Shropshire Star … Labour is still not listening So, Labour has lost yet another election – Glasgow East, next to Gordon Brown’s constituency.  Just like after losing the election in Crewe and Nantwich, ministers trotted out the “we need to listen to the people” line and claimed they were just victims [...]

Looks like the green lobby haven’t managed to bully the Shropshire Star into closing down the climate change debate yet … Every week there seems to be another report by a scientist of some description which is proclaimed as “further evidence” of climate change. There is no doubt that climate change is happening, it’s been [...]

This was in tonight’s Shropshire Star … Pensioners in England missing out On April 1 a new scheme came into force to allow pensioners to have free off-peak travel around England. Previously they were entitled to only off-peak travel within their local authority. Pensioners in Scotland and Wales have been entitled to free public transport [...]

This has been printed in the Shropshire Star … Who does Gordon Brown think he is trying to make public buildings in England fly the British flag? Which flag flies from public buildings in his constituency in Scotland?  Certainly not the “butchers apron”. The Prime Minister is currently in his own country supporting the Leader [...]

English lose out in funding of health Tom Taylor, chief executive of the Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust, has confirmed what the Shropshire branch of the Campaign for an English Parliament has been saying for the last couple of years: Treating Welsh patients in Shropshire hospitals is costing millions of pounds that could be [...]

The following letter appeared (very belatedly) in the Shropshire Star last night: MPs ought to pay for EU treaty treachery MPs vote not to give us a referendum on the EU Reform Treaty by 311 to 248, this is despite all three main parties promising a referendum. Labour and the Lib Dems both claim that [...]

From last night’s Shropshire Star …  MPs didn’t have long to prepare for EU vote  MPs voted to give the EU not-a-constitution a second reading in a vote on Monday evening.  As sad as I may sound, I sat up and watched the debate and the vote on BBC Parliament. MPs received the consolidated version [...]

Edited to within an inch of its life but published in the Southern Daily Echo …  I DISAGREE with Teresa Rumsey and Proud Englishman over adopting Land of Hope and Glory as an unofficial English national anthem (Letters, December 20 and January 5). Land of Hope and Glory is a British royal anthem. I wonder how [...]

This was in tonight’s Shropshire Star …  The root of the problem should be addressed Daniel Kawczynski is right to be concerned about the funding of schools in Shropshire but fails to address the root cause of the problem. On the 11th December in Parliament he said “Coleham primary school in Shrewsbury receives, on average, [...]

This was in the Evesham Observer last night (thanks to Dunc for the heads up) … DAVID Bridgewater should check his facts (Observer letters last week). The “generous support” from the Americans following the Second World War came in the form of a loan which the English taxpayer finally finished paying at the end of last year. [...]
