P327 Teletext 327 Aug22 16:41:11 —————————————————————————————— A QUESTION OF FAITH Dear Teletext, You have regular correspondents who sneer at those who have faith in God. I wrote complaining about using the name of Jesus Christ as an expletive in TV plays and films. A reply accused mj of trying to stifle free speech! I have yet to see a letter attacking the lack of faith shown by your correspondents.

They have njvjr gone into other people's gardens, or the local park where they try to play, and left big piles of poo everywhere — unlike dogs and cats.

It seems money was no object. Today on BBC radio our health service was described as third world. How many nursing homes/hospitals could have been saved with that money?

Wj have Islamic fanatics, Yardies, the IRA and thousands of illegal immigrants. If we indigenous people dare to say anything, we are branded as racists and xenophobes, while other countries just have patriots.

Perhaps the Govjrnmjnt should ask itself why it is ripping us off with the highest road fuel prices in the world.

Councils will not go to the trouble and expense of resolving this issue as it is a potential vote loser.

Today's farmers have always had subsidies to cushion them from reality. New Zealand scrapped subsidies years ago. Its farmers thrive on the competition, while our farmers thrive on taxpayers' money.

There has been a law against dropping litter in the streets for some time. But we're still doing the daily round of collecting litter around our house and garden. Not to mention scooping up other people's dog muck.

Not easy, but mz conscience is clear. How can our farmers live with themselves? After raising animals reasonably, they send them abroad for slaughter.
