KIRKLEES taxpayers are going to fund another expensive re-vamp of St George’s Square and Harold Wilson will stay. (Examiner Dec 6). You tell us Lady Mary, the Prime Minister and Barry Sheerman want him to remain in place. Nothing is mentioned about the opinions of the local populace. May I offer a view? Read

MG, Crosland Moor
Dec 08 2007 | Reader Letters
A RECENT report stated that 22,300 British pensioners died of the cold and cold related illnesses last winter and nearly 150,000 have died in the last 6 years.

How safe are ID cards?
Dec 08 2007 | Reader Letters
I RATHER fear that Mark Mercer has overestimated the security value of ID cards (Mailbag Nov 29). For one thing, there will never be such thing as a “robust biometric ID system”, even Mark admits one will not be foolproof. Read

Search for author
Dec 08 2007 | Reader Letters

They give information about the author G R H Ellis, who lived and worked in the Colne Valley. I wonder what became of him, and did he write more books? Read
