IS THIS the silly season or what? First Frank Avenell makes a sensible comment about the Hatton Garden jewellery robbery as to why the police didn’t react to the alarm, only to receive sarcasm from J Adams.

I don’t believe this one. Mr Lack, a self confessed atheist wanting to celebrate Saint George’s day? Why should you want to celebrate a man made a saint by some long gone Pope?

Next comes H G Smith; he wants Lord Janner to stand trial for sex crimes. Lord Janner is 83, has Alzheimer’s disease and he doesn’t know whether he’s Arthur or Martha. What a stupid waste of money that would be.

Now we come to the Christian v Islam brigade: respect each other’s views and live in peace as, in case you hadn’t noticed, we all do in Broadgreen.

Stop all these gripes at each other. The letters page was for readers to air their views about local issues; health, schools, transport etc, not insulting each other.

The old editor used to say “enough time has been given to this matter — subject closed”.

I think the editor now should do the same to stop all these stupid rants.
