Looking on from afar

I AM a regular reader of the Yorkshire Post and I am writing to congratulate you and your staff on producing a newspaper of good quality. Your obvious pride in the county of Yorkshire comes clearly through in all of the reporting and background articles.

As a resident of the town of Brigg in Lincolnshire and the editor of a local informational website, I appreciate the fact that the Yorkshire Post covers the northern Lincolnshire area.

My only regret is that there is no “Lincolnshire” in the title of the newspaper or a separate Lincolnshire Post.

Still too many

From: Dai Woosnam, Woodrow Park, Scartho, Grimsby.

YOU have to laugh. The Boundary Commission are talking of “major changes” (Yorkshire Post, October 13).

Oh, if only! Alas, to lose 50 MPs is just tinkering at the edges.

We will still be drowning under a myriad of supernumerary representatives in the Palace of Westminster.

Truanting issue

From: N Bywater, Airedale Terrace, Morley, Leeds.

LAST week, Prime Minister David Cameron said that the Government was considering cutting benefits for parents of pupils who played truant persistently.

Is he saying this to stigmatise benefit claimants, because surely children of wealthy parents also truant?

What a hoot

From: Mrs P Spencer, Tillotson Street, Silsden, Nr Keighley.

HOW I hooted with laughter at Ian McMillan’s page in Saturday’s Magazine (Yorkshire Post, September 10). Keep up the good work Ian, we can all do with a good laugh.

Light, camera...

From: Alan Marsden, Pledwick Terrace, Sandal, Wakefield.

WITH reference to the recent letter on thefts from church roofs (Yorkshire Post, September 10), install a burglar alarm, a light which comes when movement is detected and CCTV.
