23 November 2017 Letter from Mr Anthony Silver The EU divorce Dear Sir It is abundantly obvious that the EU does not want to have the precedent of a member state leaving, especially a G7 country that makes a net monetary contribution to the EU budget. Our vote to exit has therefore started what will… Continue reading Issue 130:2017 11 23:Letter (Anthony Silver)

09 November 2017 Letter from Mr Timothy Marshall Dear Sirs Jimmy Savile was a pervert and a predatory paedophile.

When his activities were eventually revealed, the BBC tried to compensate for past failures and libelled… Continue reading Issue 128: 2017 11 09: Letter (T Marshall)

19 August 2017 Letters from Mr Peter Wilson “Gentlemen, Normal Culture for Norfolk Frank O’Nomics is indeed right that culture is alive and well and thriving in the boondocks.

11 May 2015 Letter from Mr Paul Johnston Sir, Reading JR Thomas’ piece on architects in this week’s Shaw Sheet (Issue 103 “Fading Icons:Modernism”) reminded me of a conversation that I had recently with an architect that my company (a property development company) is currently using on one of its schemes.

17 September 2015 Letter Time is running out in the Middle East Sir John Watson’s article was educational for those of us sketchy about the last days of General Gordon.

20 August 2015 Letter Mr Corbyn’s priorities Sir Yesterday, as a registered supporter of the Labour Party I received an email outlining the offerings of each of the 4 leadership candidates, and 5 deputy leadership candidates.

6 August 2015 Letter Labour leadership I think JR Thomas in Issue 13 might be underestimating the appeal and therefore the chances of Jeremy Corbyn. I write as a lifelong Lefty who has not voted Labour for many years, preferring the policies of the Green Party. I have registered as a Labour Party supporter only… Continue reading Issue 14: 2015 08 06:letters

21 May 2015 Letters The Human Rights Act Sirs, I was disappointed to see the otherwise excellent and balanced “Shaw Sheet” falling under the spell of the little Islanders with the suggestion that the Human Rights Act gives the European Court of Human Rights jurisdiction in the UK.
