Letters to the Editor - 24th July 2008

WE RETURNED to Cardiff yesterday, after a five-day stay in Liverpool. We spent Friday and Sunday at Royal Birkdale, and Saturday on the Anfield Tour, and then visiting Wellington Dock to see the Tall ships. On Monday, we went to New Brighton to see the Tall Ships sail up the Mersey. Read

Letters to the Editor - 23rd July 2008

WHAT is it with Gordon Brown and this Labour government that it seems to want to control absolutely every freedom the people of this once fine country have? Read

Letters to the Editor - 22nd July 2008

IN GIVING the go-ahead for Langtree McLean's proposed development for the Festival Gardens, both the Inspector and the Secretary of State acknowledged that "the effect of the proposed scheme on the character and appearance of the whole promenade would be harmful, but that this would be outweighed by the benefits deriving from the proposals." Read

Letters to the Editor - 21st July 2008

I AM sorry, if not surprised, that Peter Kilfoyle didn’t like my book. But it is a bit rich of him to suggest that I have invented a “poverty stricken background” as the Post reports him saying (Daily Post, July 16). It makes me wonder if he read the book at all. In fact, as the book makes clear, I was extremely happy in Liverpool. Read

Letters to the Editor - 18th July 2008

IT IS with great pleasure that I will be hosting the tenth annual Pride of Britain Awards in October. As you may know, it is an incredibly uplifting occasion where HRH Prince Charles and the Prime Minister join a star-studded audience to honour the nation’s unsung heroes. Read

Letters to the Editor - 17th July 2008

I WAS very interested to see Mr Brocklebank’s item (DP, July 15) about the state of Edge Lane, which has depressed me also for many, many months. Read

Letters to the Editor - 16th July 2008

THE letter from Mr Beilin (Daily Post, July 14), seems somewhat disingenuous. The purpose of a “news” paper is to report the news, not to filter out any bad news in the development sector at the risk of upsetting certain financial organisations. I want to read what is going on in the city, not a lily-livered version written to protect me from bad news. Read

Letters to the Editor - 15th July 2008

WITHIN the space of a few days, I have heard many people on Radio 4 state that Britain is a “secular democracy”. This is not the case. Read

Letters to the Editor - 14th July 2008

MY WIFE and I decided to spend a long weekend in Liverpool this year and celebrate the culture. We’ve both worked briefly in the city, at the Everyman and the Playhouse, but, as soft southerners, a trip north is a bit of an adventure, frankly. People mocked: “A holiday in Liverpool? Contradiction in terms.” Read

Letters to the Editor - 10th July 2008

FURTHER to comments on the letter by Bill Henderson about the legacy of the Capital of Culture, I have to agree that, once the hot air has evaporated (and even the excessive amount that Liverpool can produce doesn’t last forever), there won’t be much to savour. Read

Letters to the Editor - 9th July 2008

AMID all the cries for tougher sentences for knife and gun crime, we should all consider a few points. Read

Letters to the Editor - 8th July 2008

TODAY the nation is on the brink of the worst financial crisis since the 1930s. Food prices are rocketing, petrol, gas and electricity prices are rising at record levels, and mortgage payments are increasing as the value of homes plummets. Read

Letters to the Editor - 7th July 2008

I AM a director of Merseyside Special Investment Fund and Liverpool Chamber of Commerce is one of the Company's guarantors. The Chamber has always supported MSIF as a vital source of locally-intelligent investment capital for the city region. Read

Letters to the Editor - 4th July 2008

IT WAS with some amusement that I read J Knott’s anti-Christian nonsense (Letters, July 2). He reiterates the comment of PR Jones that Christians “hold beliefs without adequate reason to do so”. This, of course, is ridiculous. Read

Letters to the Editor - 3rd July 2008

I ATTENDED the exhibition at the Concourse, in West Kirby, on Saturday, for the proposals for the new hotel and sailing school. I was impressed by how available the developers were to the general public, and how calmly and pleasantly they answered my questions, but was utterly horrified at the abuse to which they were subjected by some West Kirby residents. Read

Letters to the Editor - 2nd July 2008

RE. the letters June 26, discussing the stories found in the Bible. Very sensible points were made by Mr P Ion and PR Jones. It is true as Mr Jones says, that many Christians simply hold beliefs without adequate reason to do so. Read

Letters to the Editor - 1st July 2008

CAN someone tell me what it will have to take for the television bosses to take Big Brother off the air? A serious assault? A murder? From what I can gather, and I am not watching the series (this is from what I read in the papers) there has been some utterly disgusting behaviour from the housemates (or should that be inmates?) this series, and it has barely even got started. Read

Letters to the Editor - 30th June 2008

I WAS very sad to read in the Daily Post about the death of Cliff Hall, of The Spinners. In those days, outside jazz clubs, it was very unusual to see black and white people performing on the same stage. Read

Letters to the Editor - 26th June 2008

THE late Tony Wilson, of Granada TV, may well have been a good friend to Jim Hancock, but he was never a friend of this city, whatever Jim claims (Daily Post, June 23). Read

Letters to the Editor - 25th June 2008

WHAT festival was Samantha Parker at (Daily Post, June 23, Africa Oyé)? Read
