Letter: Failed CSA should now be scrapped
I AM writing to comment on the massive amount of child maintenance that is outstanding in the Leeds and Wakefield areas and even more worrying, the whole of the UK.
Letter: Andy’s good example
GRAHAM Charlesworth (YEP, February 3) misses the point about the backgrounds of Labour’s ‘working class heroes’. That someone has a privileged background does not make them automatically incapable of understanding or working to improve the lot of the disadvantaged and the squeezed middle, just as it is true in reverse that someone with less privileged upbringing is not incapable of appealing to the conservative right.

IT was with a degree of shock that I realised, whilst watching a local TV news programme item about the forthcoming Diamond Jubilee, that it is 35 years since the Sex Pistols outraged (part of) the nation with God Save The Queen! A single that has the honour of having made the official Number 1 in Silver Jubilee week itself but which was “blacked out” from all printed chart positions. Some charts actually placed Rod Stewart at Number 1.

1 commentLetter: Congratulations to volunteers
WHAT a delightful article about the PDSA in Bramley – ‘Love for animals inspires team to awards victory’ (YEP, January 31). I love the PDSA and I think it is just brilliant that the team of volunteers – all women, by the look of it – have won the ‘PDSA Retail Volunteer Team of the Year’. Judy Moore, ‘Key Volunteer of the Year’, sounds particularly impressive. Well done to her.
