Letter of the week: Time for British men to stand up
Dear Editor
Ed Davey, Keir Starmer and Zack Polanski. Even Kemi Badenoch. These people purport to represent the British people. People really have voted for these clowns! Unbelievable to those like me, alive at the end of World War II.
In this same week I read of a foreign child-abuser being given £500, a year’s salary in his home country, and accompanied by five state employees, on a British-funded flight home! No doubt he will soon arrive back for more!
I see numerous videos on the mainstream news of a large group of hooded and masked young men in black, looking for all the world like a foreign army platoon, marching unopposed through the streets of a London district shouting a foreign religious chant and loudly claiming the district as their own.
I also watched a piece of stark, well-filmed and commentated, journalism on YouTube created by a couple of visibly shocked and incredulous young American independent journalists as they walked around parts of Birmingham. Unrecognisable now, but formerly an English city. The only white people they appeared to come across were a couple of young women who appeared, distressingly, to be vulnerable drug addicts.
And this week the obviously long-hidden fate of countless white working-class under-age girls in ‘care’ in London seems to be coming out into the open in the city where it has strenuously been denied!
Something has gone very sadly wrong with the young and middle-aged (fighting age?) men in Britain that they have allowed all this to come to pass. They now face the choice of a humiliating surrender or of finding an unimaginable way to restore civilisation to the land for which their grandfathers, my parents, fought and won a battle against foreign tyranny.
Today’s enemies of the British people will not be fought on the beaches of Kent and Sussex.

Why the left love Islam
Dear Editor
The left’s alliance with Islamists is entirely predictable as both groups want to destroy Western civilisation and centuries of progress.
It’s not only Islamists that the radical left support in order to achieve their aims. They’ve embraced global warming and the ‘evils’ of prosperity and cheap reliable energy to try to destroy Western civilisation through net zero and expensive intermittent wind and solar power. They don’t care that countries like China and India are massively increasing their emissions to bring prosperity to their people, making any reduction in the UK’s or Europe’s emissions meaningless. As long as it undermines capitalism and democracy, the left love it.
Islamists want to destroy moral values, environmentalists want to destroy capitalism and prosperity. For these reasons the left love both of these movements and don’t care about the consequences.

Why stop with Andrew?
Dear Editor
Now that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been dealt with for his alleged, but always strenuously denied, misconduct, I do hope that our politicians and journalists will put the same relentless zeal into pursuing all those politicians, police officers and social workers who over decades turned a blind eye to the grooming gangs. Or perhaps they were only interested in pursuing a royal?

Respect has to be earned
Dear Editor
Steve Doughty asked for views from readers regarding how we might wish to show Starmer more respect.
Well, respect is earned. It would be easy to be offensive because of his demeanour and delivery but if he wants us to listen to him, he should listen to us. Ask the farmers and the fisherman. They have never been abusive, neither have they raped young girls. Yet Starmer is trying to turn his back on them along with the old people who are going to be cold without decently priced power this winter.
He is neither thick-skinned nor ignorant: he is very bright and dangerous.

Get the nation back to productive work
Dear Editor
Warning, another letter from Worms in Totnes likely to increase your blood pressure!
To continue my optimistic, or cognitive dysfunctional, view of life, let us have a look at the budget. The general view is that we are broke. Not surprising: we don’t make anything, we don’t grow very much, and we pay people handsomely for sitting at home and doing nothing. Not a recipe for a flourishing economy. Ah! But what about the service industry? I may have missed something but the last time I looked, service in the UK of any sort was ordinary at best. If we manage to export it, other countries must be appalling at it!
How about making a few bits and bobs, a bit of industry? How about using a few natural resources – oil, gas, coal? How about using land to grow some stuff and put some livestock on it? How about a budget that insists on value for money? You remember that old lost concept of productivity. Might start with the Government: is the House of Lords value for money? No, off you go then. House of Commons, are you value for money? Let us reduce the cost by 50 per cent and see if it makes any difference. My bet, not much.
The Foreign Office, 17,000 staff – have we still got an Empire hidden away somewhere? Our days of global domination are long gone, so perhaps we could reduce 17,000 to around a couple of hundred.
The reader might take the view that I have suddenly become somewhat cynical. Not so, the truth is that a very sensible budget could turn things around. Putting a £1 on a packet of cigarettes or 1p on the rate of income tax is not the answer, you have to the get the nation back to productive work either by stick or by carrot.

Miliband’s quiet backtracking on energy bills
Dear Editor
On Friday the Telegraph highlighted that Mr Miliband’s promised £300 reduction in energy bills has been quietly dropped.
That is not surprising in view of the new wind farm capacity factors reported by the DT, reducing prospective 2035 wind farms outputs from around 600TWh to 430TWh.
At 25p per kWh, that shortfall would be worth around £180billion pa, or £4,000 per household.
How much will it cost to plug that gap, Mr Miliband?
