SIR – Those of us who served in the Armed Forces and fought the Cold War understand all too well the importance of deterrence and military strength.
SIR – The Government’s obsession with net zero – at the expense of our standard of living, our ability to properly heat our homes and our ability to travel freely – is sowing the seeds of the next serious split between the establishment and the people.

SIR – You report on the two women who were fined £200 by Derbyshire police after driving into the countryside for a walk with cups of coffee.
The case is now under review – but should such excessive enforcement occur again, the consequences for policing by consent and the public’s respect for the police are likely to be negative. A degree of common sense must be applied.

SIR – Here in a Derby suburb on the edge of a local park, there is a stall selling coffee and soup and attracting large groups, yet there has not been a policeman in sight.
