Letter of the week: Polanksi’s IQ
Dear Editor
To give Zack Polanski his due, he is one of those exceedingly rare politicians who are actually as intelligent as they look.

Stop Starmer’s EU plot
Dear Editor
OK, enough, please, with the machinations of the Labour Party and the PM contest. Some other news would be a welcome change.
It is the contents of the King’s Speech that we aren’t talking about that concerns me most at this time.
Starmer will want to leave a legacy of some kind, and top of the list is getting us fully back under EU control, followed by an expansion of Net Zero. While he is still PM Starmer will be pushing these relentlessly – he cannot succeed.
Getting a new PM in place could so easily be delayed for months, meaning too much progress will be made on his favourite schemes. He cannot be allowed to complete his deadly EU surrender. We have to find ways to sabotage his progress, which is why this subject needs to be fully covered by TCW, please.
We cannot allow even this pale Brexit to be taken from us.

None of the below
Dear Editor
Starmer, Burnham, Farage, Badenoch, Miliband, Rayner. I don’t want any of them, so let’s stop talking about the hype whisked up for this by-election, and let’s work out what on earth is on the other side of this giant ego trip.

The Church of England’s failings
Dear Editor
When a nation’s past is as closely linked to Christianity as is the case with Britain, the nation gets the government which the Church deserves.
Although we may blame the political parties entrusted with the tasks of government, there are failings of the Church for which Christians need to repent and return to principles which the Bible clearly speaks about.
For brevity here, contributors to TCW including Peter Simpson and Tony Rucinski have written about these principles.
Friends in the West Midlands who plan to go to Saturday’s Unite The Kingdom rally are arranging to give out Gospel booklets as part of bringing this nation back to being ‘People of the Book’ which is the Bible.
The Monarch’s Coronation Oath binds kings and queens to upholding the Protestant Christian religion. Christians should call this nation back to that Christian religion which upholds the Bible and through humble prayer may restore to Britain those blessings which once allowed the title ‘Great’.
I am not saying that those in government have to be Christians. But the Church has to be clear that the Bible is the written Word of the one true and living God instead of compromising

The £50million inquiry gravy train
Dear Editor
The costs of running the Sheku Bayoh inquiry are now £27.5million with the overall costs including expenditure by police and prosecutors now over £50million. Who will pull the plug on this gravy train?
Sheku Boyoh died on May 3 2015 in Kirkcaldy after police officers restrained him. Evidence showed that he had taken illegal drugs, was thought to have armed himself with a knife and punched a female officer, PC Nicole Short, to the ground. It took 6 police officers to hold him down. The Scottish Police Federation reacted with fury claiming that Chief Constable Jo Farrell had betrayed her officers by capitulating to political pressure and agreeing to the civil damages claim by the Bayoh family against Police Scotland. The family were paid £1.85million. Lord Colbeck has taken over from Lord Bracadale who stood down after concerns about his private meetings with Mr Bayoh’s family were revealed. It is to be hoped that Lord Colbeck will ensure this long running taxpayer-funded farce comes to a speedy conclusion.
