Labour is to blame for recession

4:41pm Thursday 18th March 2010

This is Labour’s recession, Mr Whittaker, (Oxford Mail, March 17).

Real figure is ten times lower

4:43pm Thursday 18th March 2010

This new caring image the Tories are trying to promote for themselves is a distortion of the truth.

Know a man who has some excellent photos

4:44pm Thursday 18th March 2010

SO, MODERN Art Oxford wants photographs to place online while it is closed for a £250,000 facelift (Oxford Mail, March 2).

Those were the days, and good riddance to them

4:45pm Thursday 18th March 2010

ED ROTHERY (Oxford Mail, March 8) evokes a time where 11-year-old Scouts were allowed to wear knives on their belts; adult disputes were resolved by highly civilised and sophisticated Queensbury Rules fisticuffs; a rather variegated House of Commons chanted ‘Amen’, after its Leader asked God to grant eternal rest to service personnel killed in action; and one’s religion was advertised at one’s hospital bedside for every little bigot (patients, visitors or staff) to notice.

Why am I charged when booking a holiday?

4:48pm Thursday 18th March 2010

Could someone please explain to me why I am charged by travel agents for using my credit card when booking a holiday, while all other purchases using the card are free?

Chinese are pandering to the masses

4:46pm Thursday 18th March 2010

I DO not know how the Dalai Lama was selected for the job at the age of two, nor to what extent the mature man is the product of nature or of nurture, but they could have done a hell of a lot worse, as certain other spiritual movements have, by using Western methods. Anyway, his recent meeting with President Obama did not necessarily constitute a violation of the USA’s pledge to refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of China.

Save your children from online danger

4:38pm Thursday 18th March 2010

With the recent tragedy in the news of the 17-year-old girl groomed, raped and murdered by a Facebook predator, I thought parents would also appreciate a wake-up call from a slightly different angle.

Didn't take long to see how dangerous Facebook can be

4:40pm Thursday 18th March 2010

Having been challenged to use Facebook by younger friends and relatives – presumably so that they can take a pop at the old guy from time to time – it didn’t take me long to realise how potentially risky this medium is.

What will go?

6:41pm Wednesday 17th March 2010

he police must be really fed up with being used and abused by the county council which, yet again, is introducing speed restrictions, while ignoring the contrary advice of both the police and motoring organisations. They are behaving like badly run companies, where individual managers look after themselves while building their own little empires rather than looking at the long-term bigger picture and working as a team.

Two new stations would benefit city

6:37pm Wednesday 17th March 2010

Colin Smith (Oxford Mail letters, March 8) is right: even if Water Eaton Parkway station opens in 2013, Kidlington still deserves a new railway station on the Cherwell Valley line.

Toilets U-turn

6:38pm Wednesday 17th March 2010

What a strange world Labour councillor John Tanner inhabits.

Have your say

Use your sense

6:38pm Wednesday 17th March 2010

Please allow me to say a big thank you to the people of Oxfordshire and all the schoolchildren who came to see the Children of Gaza under Fire exhibition recently shown in the Town Hall.
