SIR – You were right to challenge the legal ban on church worship and, in particular, the requirement, under coronavirus regulations, for Remembrance events to be held outside.

The exception for Westminster Abbey applies only for the service in the Abbey on Wednesday, November 11, to commemorate Armistice Day and the centenary of the burial of the Unknown Warrior.

There is no exception to the general ban on gatherings for other services on Armistice Day, whether held in church or outdoors.

Thus, the holding of traditional acts of Remembrance on Wednesday at town and village war memorials around the country will be illegal.

This is shameful, even though I doubt whether the police would dare to seek to disperse such gatherings. The Government should act today to amend the regulations to allow such events to go ahead lawfully.

SIR – There is something very wrong in this country, when the public are not allowed to attend the ceremony to commemorate our service men and women outside in Whitehall, while we can shop in our local supermarket indoors.

What a chance it was for Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister, to stand up against these scientists and insist the ceremony went ahead as usual. But no, he has become subservient to his “advisers”.

Philip Hall
Petersfield, Hampshire

 

SIR – Dr Keith Collard (Letters, November 7) criticises the scientific quality of the pronouncements by the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage).

I wonder if the lack of science backgrounds in the Government could explain the ease with which Sage gets its unreviewed predictions accepted?

It is possibly not a coincidence that the two most successful European leaders of the recent past, Margaret Thatcher and Angela Merkel, had science degrees, and were qualified to ask searching questions.

David Pynn
Malmesbury, Wiltshire

 

SIR – Fraser Nelson posed the question: “Is Boris Johnson really in charge of No 10?”

I carefully read Mr Nelson’s arguments for and against, considered the personnel involved, examined a number of relevant graphs and diagrams, looked at the science, took into consideration patterns of behaviour, modelled a number of scenarios and came to a conclusion.

The answer to Mr Nelson’s question is: “No”.

SIR – Who is actually running this country – scientists or professional footballers? I think we should be told.

Britain’s heroes

SIR – The Common Sense Group (59 Conservative MPs and seven peers) was formed to speak for the silent majority of voters tired of being patronised by elitist bourgeois liberals whenever issues such as immigration or law and order are raised.

Part of our mission is to ensure that institutional custodians of history and heritage, tasked with safeguarding and celebrating British values, are not coloured by cultural Marxist dogma, colloquially known as the “woke agenda”.

So, when National Trust directors implicitly tarnished one of Britain’s greatest sons, Winston Churchill, by linking his family home, Chartwell, with slavery and colonialism, 20 of the group wrote to the Culture Secretary requesting he review the trust’s funding applications to public bodies.

After revelations that the National Maritime Museum, guardian of Nelson’s Trafalgar coat (pierced by a bullet on Victory’s deck) would, in light of Black Lives Matter protests, portray “multiple perspectives on history” and thus review Nelson’s “heroic status”, our group challenged the museum’s CEO, Paddy Rodgers.

Subsequently, both the National Trust and Maritime Museum have attempted to reassure the public about their intentions, and kindly invited Common Sense Group members to visit Chartwell and the Museum.

However, recent comments by the trust’s chairman – as ill-informed as they were unwise – prove the good judgment of the chairman of the Charity Commission, Baroness Stowell, in reminding charities that their purpose is far from involvement in the theory or practice of politics.

History must neither be sanitised nor rewritten to suit “snowflake” preoccupations. A clique of powerful, privileged liberals must not be allowed to rewrite our history in their image.

Thursday’s cross child

SIR – I love crosswords but on some Thursdays (Letters, November 7) I would like to shake the compiler cordially by the throat, even when I have solved a fiendish clue. That said, please don’t stop. I will complete one of these blighters some day.

US sigh of relief

SIR – And the world breathed a collective sigh of relief. For now.

Mark Boyle
Johnstone, Renfrewshire

 

SIR – President-elect Joe Biden claims an innate belief in the voice of the people, expressed fairly and freely via the ballot box. So he should respect the democratic will of the people of the United Kingdom and keep his opposition to Brexit to himself.

Christopher Healy

SIR – I assume Donald Trump still has his finger on the nuclear button.

Off the rails

SIR – A rail tunnel between Ireland and Scotland is proposed, but British standard gauge is 4 ft 8½ in and Irish gauge is 5 ft 3 in. Who will give way?

Brian Hutchinson

Heirloom clothes

sir – The Prince of Wales opposes “throwaway” clothes (Letters, November 7). I still wear my mother’s coat (affectionately known as “the horse blanket”), made for her when pregnant with my late brother, who would have been 75 on Christmas Day.

It has been relined twice, and I’m sure it will outlast me – my granddaughter is already eyeing it!

Chamberlain deserves a memorial or two

A detail from James Gunn's portrait of Neville Chamberlain - www.bridgemanimages.com

SIR – Neville Chamberlain died 80 years ago today. The erection of a plaque at Birmingham City Council where, as Lord Mayor in the First World War he pioneered urban planning and health services for all, was postponed by the current crisis.

The finest administrator of his time, he worked round the clock until weeks before his death running the home front so that Churchill, his successor as prime minister in May 1940, could concentrate on the war.

Churchill had hoped they would “go on together through the storm”.

Bitter arguments of the Thirties over Chamberlain’s quest for a settlement with Hitler had been replaced by a wartime partnership. Chamberlain’s unprecedented expenditure as prime minister on defence, rising to nearly 50 per cent of GNP, made possible Churchill’s war to destroy Hitler.

Before 1940, Churchill urged pouring money into building bombers. Chamberlain backed the fighter aircraft that won the Battle of Britain just before his death.

Unfounded attacks on his foreign policy as nothing but “appeasement” have cast his work as an architect of the welfare state into oblivion. He prepared the way for “the whole nation being brought under medical care” through the NHS.

In the Commons he was unchallenged as master of the latest medical research, expounded simply, without a note. Could we not do with someone like that today?

Lord Lexden
London SW1

 

SIR – Chamberlain was a great field naturalist, the only prime minister to have a species named after him, Chamberlain’s Yellow Butterfly. He championed conservation, helping to set up the Wildlife Trusts and the Campaign to Protect Rural England.

In the run-up to war he went birdwatching nearly every day in St James’s Park and put up bird boxes at No 10 and Chequers.

We believe a memorial to his conservation legacy should be erected in St James’s Park.

Seeing GPs face to face

SIR – As UK GPs, we were alarmed to see the letter (October 23) from a doctor about his work for a private GP clinic in London.

The doctor is apparently inundated with patients who cannot see an NHS doctor face to face. This chimes with a widespread public impression that GPs are choosing to avoid seeing patients in this way.

In fact, we have been following Government guidance, requiring us to keep patients safe during the pandemic by consulting remotely wherever possible, but we have and will always see a patient in person if that is what is needed to make a diagnosis or administer treatment.

Many patients seem to be under the impression that GPs are not pulling their weight during the pandemic. In fact, there have been a million more patient consultations in primary care this September than in the same month last year – a 4 per cent increase – and over half of these are face to face.

GP practices face increasing workloads due to hospital delays, the new cohort of “long-Covid” patients and rising numbers with mental health problems. This extra load on primary care is exacerbated by workforce issues, with many doctors and staff having to self-isolate.

GPs cherish the strong relationships we have with our patients and know these are key to providing the best quality healthcare. Unfortunately, the challenges of the pandemic and a growing negativity towards GPs are straining these relationships, and letters like the one you published fuel mistrust among the general public.

A better understanding of the real situation faced by GPs will be vital as we all navigate the immense challenges of the winter ahead.
