I AM writing to ask your readers to spare a couple of hours to help hearts this June by volunteering to support the British Heart Foundation's (BHF) Help a Heart campaign.

I NOTE the government is setting aside money for the purchase of houses for rent to ease the housing crisis they caused.

I WONDER if some of the politically astute readers of the Swindon Advertiser can assist me in understanding Labour Party policy on law and order.

I AM surprised and saddened that you have chosen to publish yet another personal attack on Matt Holland and the Swindon Literature Festival organisers by Ross Warren (SA, May 14, Letters Festival makes me sad for town'). It seems particularly insensitive that it was published at a time when Matt and the team are working flat out to deliver yet another wonderful literature festival.

"MOST importantly for the sake of the gullible and easily scared, the programme should point out that the very idea of devils and demons is a load old rubbish", - so rambles on the opinionated Barrie on the Box (SA, May 14, Is the truth out there? The Amityville Horror: The True Story').

I FIND it odd that Ross Warren seems to think that the Swindon Festival of Literature is giving Swindon a bad name. As far as I can see the Festival of Literature is the only thing Swindon has going for it.

WHILE very understandable, the comment expressed by Linda Howe the Cancer Research UK shop treasurer was to say the least quite extraordinary. To wish that any person should contract cancer is quite simply outrageous.

THE letter in the paper for May 14 from the chair of the council for the Protection of Rural England entitled Town Can't Cope With New Houses is of vital importance and any sane person will agree with this.

IN this drug infested, debt ridden society, with a policeman on the beat as rare as the Dodo at the Zoo.With no discipline in our schools, feral youths running free and making many peoples lives a misery. Three hundred families losing their homes every day. Building workers being laid off in their thousands. Mortgages an impossibility for many first time buyers to obtain. Pension schemes collapsing on a daily basis. Unlimited immigration taking its toll on the public services. Prices of food and petrol and utility bills going through the roof. High taxes crippling the country, Quangoes popping up like seals on the Falkland Islands and ten times more useless, to mention a few of the problems we face.
