READERS LETTERS: Chronic NHS underfunding should be the real focus

© DC Thomson Sir, – At risk of sounding out of step with the nation, I wonder if the English media’s saturation coverage of old army Captain Sir Tom Moore and the Westminster politicians who have been at pains to outdo each other in their bombastic praise is little more than smokescreen jingoism? There is no doubt that the centenarian did formidably well by raising the best part of £40 million for the NHS. However, there are aspects of this media story which don’t sit well. It seems odd that a nation which views old military titles as a reason for light hearted ridicule, as exemplified by Ballard Berkeley’s comic character The Major in Fawlty Towers, warmed to Captain Tom using his army rank long after it was relevant.

READERS LETTERS: A single management body would improve railways

© DC Thomson Sir, – Surely it is evident to all that the rail transport infrastructure in Scotland is needing significant assessment and improvement to protect it from the increased risk of landslips caused by rainfall. The tragic landslip at Carmont, south of Stonehaven, the recent event again close to Carmont, where a bridge parapet collapsed, and a landslip near Tain are indicators action is needed. Network Rail admitted they did not have the resources to apply solutions to all similar railway cuttings, which may be affected by high rainfalls. Network Rail is a UK-wide operation and funded by HM Treasury, so you can see that scarce resources can be directed towards high volume transport routes.

READERS LETTERS: Facing a perfect storm after decades of Tory policy

© Aaron Chown/AP/Shutterstock Britain s Prime Minister Boris Johnson is welcomed for a dinner with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, right, in Brussels. Sir, – For the first time the UN relief agency Unicef is launching an emergency appeal inside the UK. There is a public health crisis, an economic crisis and an environmental crisis, all merging with the unfolding Brexit catastrophe. This is the result of four decades of gutting the living standards and conditions of working people, to benefit the super-rich. Thatcher and Reagan began lowering the working conditions in the early 1980s. Battling inflation was the propaganda and a recession was instigated by raising interest rates. Then rates were lowered for banks, and the central banks could pursue policies which the value of assets would never decrease.
