Where was Union Flag?

Published 2 July 2009

I would like to congratulate the organisers for their hard work to help the heroes but the attitude of our council members in Maryport stinks.

Supporters have been abandoned

Published 2 July 2009

I agree with John Metcalfe (News & Star, June 19) that, in its pursuit of the middle England voters over many years, along with the near total abandonment of any socialist principles, New Labour has, in effect, ignored the needs and wishes of its traditional supporter.

Planning only for power

Published 1 July 2009

I have just read the article on ‘What Makes Cumbria Special’ (News & Star, June 29).

Now give us a real miracle

Farmers’ valuable service

Published 30 June 2009

With reference to the letter ticking off the farmers, when will people leave farmers alone? MY purpose in writing is completely personal and relates to my experience as a child in Carlisle in the 1930s.

Recycled dumping ground

Published 30 June 2009

There is a certain bittersweet irony about the fact that all the good efforts of Cumbrian householders to recycle as much domestic waste as possible will help free up space in landfill for nuclear contaminated waste to be dumped at Lillyhall, Workington.

Keep smoke in the pub

Published 29 June 2009

I don't agree with the plan for Upperby Working Men’s Club to have an area set aside outside for drinking – or any outdoor area on the street for smokers in any pub in Carlisle.

As a supporter of the Changing Places campaign, I think it is a disgrace that Cumbria County Council doesn’t provide public toilets that meet the needs of local people with severe disabilities and their carers.

Help stop testing on animals

Published 25 June 2009

There aren’t many European laws that could save thousands of lives but a once-in-a-generation chance to stop the suffering of countless animals could do just that.

Vermin deserves nothing

Published 25 June 2009

HAVING read (News & Star, June 17) about the rapist Adam Carruthers appealing about the cut in his police pension makes me sick.I STOOD against Jim Buchanan for the Aspatria seat in the county council elections earlier this month and was resoundingly beaten. n I WOULD like to take this opportunity through your newspaper to thank the people of Belah who have supported me for many years and especially those who have voted for me in the last county council elections.THE announcement that the conflict in Iraq would be discussed behind closed doors, inviting comments such as “whitewash”, has prompted me to write this little rhyme:IMAGINE you are nine years old. Today you fixed breakfast for your younger brother and sister and your mum. You put some washing on, got your siblings ready for school, gave mum her medicine and tidied up the kitchen, all before school.

Ticking off for farmers
