In your report, May morning bridge shut, and your editorial, May Day idiots are to blame (Oxford Mail, April 19), you failed to mention that some of these educated idiots could be ruining (sorry, I mean running) this country in future.

Just look at how many of our MPs, past and present, were Oxford educated, and look at what a state the country is in.

I say 'let them jump' and leave them to get to hospital themselves.

This would save the council taxpayer money.

It would cost a lot less than having 60 police officers and private security guards and security fencing needed to close the bridge.
