'It brought some light hearted relief into the news and makes me proud to be British' - Your Letters: May 31
PICTURE FROM THE ARCHIVE: Ludlow Town Hall and the Castle Square at Ludlow. The building was controversially demolished in 1986 by South Shropshire District Council. According to the Star at the time, the Clerk of Works said there was very little wrong with it and it was “adequate and sturdy”.
TROUSERS HITCH MADE ME LAUGH
Thanks to the Star of the 30/5 for making my day, with the story of the barrister who appeared via a court video link without any trousers on, and got his bott...er wrists slapped by the court. The cheek of the man. It brought some light hearted relief into the news and makes me proud to be British.
I understand the British Naturist Society will be contacting him soon to represent them over a delicate matter.

QUESTIONS OVER FARAGE POLICIES
Farage had made a speech showing his policies posed a danger to the UK, with billions of pounds of unfunded cuts. Farage has u-turned on scraping the two child benefit cap and winter fuel. The media have printed these largely without any examination or question about Farage u-turns. Too many seem to be fawning over Farage, claiming he is next PM, and Reform and unwilling to raise any concerns.
I'm not a Labour supporter or Starmer fan but am glad at least, with the press and media silent, he is raising questions I have about Farage and his policies.
