Terror plotters let off leniently

From: Godfrey Bloom, Ukip MEP for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, Wressle, Selby.

THE potential terrorists who planned to blow us all up in a heap of blood and mangled bodies received sentences of between six and nine years (Yorkshire Post, April 26). This means they will be out in three to four years, young men probably unreformed and ready to kill again.

Personally I would like to see them hanged, but at the very least let us put them away for 30 years with no remission.

Left at a loss over Thatcher

From: MJ Thompson, Goodison Boulevard, Doncaster.

IN response to William Snowden (Yorkshire Post, April 25), the issue I had with Bernard Ingham’s comments was not his condemnation of the celebrations on the death of Margaret Thatcher, but of his assumption that everybody who was not in mourning for her was either an ultra-Leftie or a low life.

I am neither of these and just because I am not saddened by her death does not mean my domicile is a cesspit, as Mr Snowden claims.

Farage’s time

From: John Rookes, Bramley, Rotherham.

ANOTHER sterling performance by Ukip’s Nigel Farage on Thursday night’s Question Time. He seems to be the only man in politics that tells it how it is.

What’s on the tin is what you get, no nonsense double speak or incomprehensible waffle you get from all the other main parties.

British voters get exactly what they deserve, so now is the time to test drive a new model.

Christa no miss

From: Les Addy, Mirfield.

I, FOR one, haven’t been sorry 
for Christa Ackroyd’s absence from Look North. I think the BBC should look at the presenters on Calendar to see how it should be done.

Also, the mickey taking of Paul Hudson, the weatherman, I find tiresome, and not particularly amusing. Time for the programme to be refreshed?
