Dear Editor,

I am saddened that the Tetley brewery in Leeds is to close next year, albeit long forecast.

It is a great shame that almost 200 years of brewing on the site is to end, particularly when statistics apparently show real ale is performing better than other beer styles.

Yes, trading conditions are difficult but what angers me is that much of this results from endless rules and regulations spewing forth from both the EU and this Labour government.

It cannot be the same brew from Marston, water from the Wharfe will not brew the same beer as the Trent.  Magnificent though both be.  

Cask ales should be tax free, they are part of our heritage and do not contribute to binge drinking problems and would help save the traditional pub.  

Greg Mulholland, John Grogan and I cannot save the pub and brewing industry alone but my wife says I'm doing my bit.

Yours faithfully

Dear Editor,

Nigel Farage has foolishly alienated our junior bank clerk vote and driven damp rags into the arms of the Liberal Democrats, admittedly their natural home, with his derogatory remarks about President Van Rumpy Pumpy.

Dear Sir

Your one great newspaper now has an environment editor who thinks CO2 is a ‘pollutant’. Does The Times no longer insist on any form of formal education for their correspondents?

Dear Editor,

I would like to point out to local people that they still have time to voice their objections to the proposed Spaldington wind farms.

This is something I would urge all sensible residents to do as a matter of urgency before it is too late and these dreadful and useless eyesores are foisted on us.

Formal objections are already in from a number of town and parish councils to both Spaldington Airfield and Spaldington Common wind farms and the more voices that are raised the better.

Wind farms are highly inefficient and I, for one, will do all in my power to continue exposing them for what they are -  the witchcraft of the modern age.

The closing date for objections was initially last month but this has now been extended. For details on how to register your objection go to the Stop Spaldington Wind Farms website - www.spaldingtonstop.org.uk

 Yours sincerely 

Godfrey Bloom

Dear Sir

I think everyone now knows they have been the subject of a confidence trick on climate change Al Gore, Prof Jones, Pachauri, the BBC, IPCC and now the New Zealand Climate database has all fiddled the figures.

I know a scam when I see one and I think ordinary Yorkshire folk do to.

Yours faithfully

Dear Sir, 

Reports that the brothers, who carried out the shocking torture attack on two boys at Edlington, are likely to claim their human rights have been violated would be laughable if it was not so serious.

But it does highlight the ridiculous situation this country finds itself with human rights legislation. 

How many more evil terrorists and murderers have to win their battle to stay here or successfully challenge court orders before the people of this country rise up and say 'enough is enough'?

In this particularly sad case the two brothers were apparently doomed from birth and never stood a chance but they carried out a dreadful attack and a senior British judge has handed down the penalty. 

Such decisions should not be tossed aside - in a move which by the way will cost us tens of thousands of pounds - by a court in Strasbourg.

Yours sincerely 

Godfrey Bloom
