06 July 2020 Letter to the Editor Bobbies Off the Beat from Lynda Goetz Dear Sir I have read the letter from Natasha Broke in which she criticises my article “Bobbies on the beat” and other articles which appeared in Shaw Sheet and would like to make one or two comments to put the record… Continue reading Issue 241: 2020 07 09: Letter to the Editors

25 June 2020 Letter to the Editor Black Lives Matter from Natasha Broke Sir, Any number of recent (and not so recent political) events – 2016 certainly feels like a lifetime ago – have led me to take solace in my bubble. However, I used to take pleasure in being challenged by the different viewpoints… Continue reading Issue 239: 2020 06 25: Letter to the Editor

7 May 2020 Letter to The Editor Private Education from Madelaine Kirke Sir I would really like to comment on the state/private education issue. Banning private education in the UK would only affect the middle classes. The rich would move their children to schools in, typically, the Irish republic or Northern France. I have taught… Continue reading Issue 233: 2020 05 14: Letter to the Editor

25 April 2020 Letter to the Editor Labour from W.G.Grace I write in response to Diary of a Corbynista in Shawsheet 230. As John Crace says in this morning’s Guardian, after five years of absence, “finally we have a fully functioning opposition”. Keir Starmer was very effective in Parliament yesterday. I particularly liked the gracious… Continue reading Issue 231: 2020 04 30: Letter to the Editor

26 April 2020 Letter to the Editor Hopes for a New Normal A Ragged Trousered Analysis from Paul Branch Sir I absolutely do not understand the adulation and emotional support Jeremy Corbyn inspires. In fact I joined the Labour Party solely to help vote him out, as did many others. My worst fears came to… Continue reading Issue 231: 2020 04 30: Letter to the Editor

30 April 2020 Letter to the Editor Plans. By Soren Hilligsoe In the 23 April 2020 edition, Robert Kilconner discusses the topic of an exit strategy. Presumably, this is in relation to the current lockdown caused by the covid-19 virus. In the article he quotes the 19th century Prussian general, Helmuth von Moltke the elder’s… Continue reading Issue 231: 2020 04 30: Letter to the Editor

31 October 2019 Letter to the Editors Anti-semitism from Anthony Silver Dear Sir, In this week’s edition your in-house Corbynista has gone too far. In the past his gratuitous and offensive use of quotes from Julius Streicher and Hitler to justify some obtuse and asinine point in support of ‘Der Corbyn’ may have laid claim… Continue reading Issue 221: 2019 10 31: Letter to the Editors

03 October 2017 Letter to the Editors EBITDA from Anthony Silver Dear Sir In the ultimate para of his article on the late Thos. Cook, Frank O’Nomics made the important point that shareholders need be mindful of ‘…level of debt on the balance sheet, the cost of servicing that debt, and the extent to… Continue reading Issue 217: 2019 10 03: Letter to the Editors

5 September 2019 Letter to the Editors Knife Crime from Ann Isobel Dear Sirs I think that Corbynista was wrong to focus on ‘knife crimes’ in Shawsheet 212. ‘Gun crime’ was the moral panic of the early 2000s but labelling crimes as ‘gun’ crime hid the underlying social factors. Gang related crime figures tell you… Continue reading Issue 213: 2019 09 05: Letter to the Editors

25 July 2019 Letter to the Editors Anti-semitism and Labour from Anthony Silver Dear Sir It was safe to predict that your pet Corbynista in his column this week would both lash out at the BBC for Panorama (attack being the best form of defence), and, continue to deny the problem of anti-semitism within… Continue reading Issue 212: 2019 07 25: Letter to the Editors

13 June 2019 Letter to the Editors Corbyn’s meeting from Anthony Silver Dear Sir It is a matter of public record that JC refused an invitation from the Queen to attend a dinner held in honour of The Donald, I presume because he objected to the presence of the guest of honour. Should he… Continue reading Issue 206: 2019 06 13: Letter to the Editors

06 June 2019 Letter to the Editor Labour ‘s Paranoia from Anthony Silver Dear Sir, In his parody of the end of May’s resignation honours list your diarist Corbynista has a kvetch at Louise Ellman for ‘criticising the leadership of her party’ presumably in her role as President of the Jewish Labour Movement. In… Continue reading Issue 205: 2019 06 06: Letter to the Editors

9 May 2019 Letter to the Editors The Civil Sevice from Anthony Silver Dear Sir, Maybe it is a generational thing, maybe it is the propaganda from “Yes Minister”, but I have always believed the British Civil Service to be sort of World Class, and that while their political masters might be flapping about from… Continue reading Issue 201: 2019 05 09: Letter to the Editors
