Dear Editor,
I have seen all manner of bad things in my life. In the line of my previous career, I handled every form of death, destruction and human evil that there is. I still pray for a better world but sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the evil I see happening around us. Because I am a Christian man I do not believe in any form of killing at all. I also believe that we should give every respect to those things placed in our control. God wanted it this way and that is why he had Noah construct an ark large enough for the salvation of animals, as well as human beings. For nearly thirty years I absorbed evil but now I must do something to reject it or else it will simply engulf us all completely, as it already nearly has. I have had enough of war, fighting, death, destruction, lack of respect for people, animals and others’ property. I am exhausted with it. I have also suffered and am currently doing so. Why, I know not. It is the pure evil that surrounds us.
I trust in the power of the press when I read such awful factual reports as that by Sean McSeveney in a recent edition of the Coastrider newspaper concerning he Cereco animal facility - if it may be called as much - near Crevillente.
(http://www.coastrider.net/news_main.htm#execution)
I trust that you can publish this letter and report on this matter in your newspaper.
I commend the Coastrider newspaper for revealing this horror and encourage anyone who feels as strongly as I do about the matter to write to his or her politician and newspapers wherever. For my part, I have communicated this report to sources around the world including contacts in the U.K. press in the hope that this outrage might be righted.
It comes as no surprise to me that human beings treat themselves and each other in such appalling ways when this is the treatment handed out to innocent animals.
In the good Lord's name, this must stop. Is this really the world we want? Is this a world we can be proud of? I welcome God's judgement and the sooner the better.
Please apply what resources you can to this, if only to publish this, my letter.
Written with tears in my eyes, Michael John Chappell
Dear Editor,
Re Bryn Myrddin’s letter of Issue 130. What a joy it was to read a letter from a kindred spirit. How dare the English have a patron saint’s day. How dare they have a Scottish Prime Minister unelected by the English. As for my ancestors who served in the Scots Guards, how dare I pay tribute to fallen heroes who paid with their lives and limbs in far off battles, allowing me the freedom and privilege to air my views. I’m with Bryn, let them lie where they fell in foreign fields slain by Nazi bullets, forget them, let’s fill our boots while we can, we Welsh, Muslims and Scots have rights. We will continue to cheer the opposition whenever England are playing or fighting as we guzzle our way through the British Social Security gravy train handouts. So long may Bryn Yurddin toss his caber in the privacy of his Torrevieja bedroom and wipe it on his saltire.

Dear Ed,
Further to your article in the Costa Calida Informer Issue 128, “Dead Fish Alarm Ecologists”, the ramblas in Spain are the most interesting engineering example of natural pollution control. The only possible problem is the retention time within sections of the rambla. Reeds within the ramblas will clean up most run-off pollution that exists and the use of V-notch weirs in the ramblas at regular intervals will retain the water within the weirs for longer treatment. The weirs can also assist with sampling and the possible location of main polluters. When the weirs are sampled and the results retained and charted, this will provide alluvia statistics as to which areas are polluting more than others and the identity of possible pollutants, providing valuable information for alternative forms of natural treatment. Britain has been spending large amounts of money to control pollution and many of the ways are natural, including reed beds of similar construction, although not of the same size. The only difference in Britain, however, is that the reed beds are completely engineered, including liners to ensure no pollution to groundwaters or overspill. In conclusion, the ramblas are a very underestimated piece of natural engineering for pollution control. I find that the reed beds are now being removed and, unless they are replaced with wetland vegetation, direct contamination will occur into the Mar Menor at these points.

Dear Editor,
Another Neighbourhood Watch Success. Early in July the Guardia in Torrevieja received a request, via Interpol, from the British police asking for help in tracing a vehicle believed to be in the area with false British number plates. The Guardia asked the Neighbourhood Watch Association for their help in locating the vehicle and a request was sent out to all NHW coordinators to keep an eye out for it. Approximately ten days after receiving the request from the Guardia, NHW were able to inform them where the vehicle was parked. The Guardia quickly confirmed that the vehicle located was the one they were looking for and details were sent back to the British police via Interpol. Once again NHW has been able to respond rapidly to a request for help from the police and had co-ordinators in over thirty different locations, from Javea in the north to Almeria in the south, working together to achieve this result. If you want to find out more about NHW or would like information on starting a branch in your area telephone James on 659 883 516 or Ray on 966 763 258 or visit the NHW web site at www.nhwinspain.com.

Dear letters editor,
I note the usual squeals following on from the publication of my letter concerning an independent Scotland. Of course, since then, Labour Unionist politicians in Glasgow and those who misrepresent Scotland in the Westminster Parliament on behalf of the Unionist Parties have felt the surge towards the only party for a free and independent Scotland, the Scottish National Party. Led by Alex Salmond, this party now controls the Edinburgh parliament and many improvements have been seen in public services across Scotland.
The only way for Scotland to achieve independence is by the democratic means allowed us. I am sure that Alex will have timed the 2010 Independence referendum well and I have no doubt that the answer will be a resounding 'Yes' vote. Then all Scotland based politicians will be forced to decide where their future lies. Don't forget though that many English people live in Scotland and many of them are SNP members. They have recognised that the old Unionist policies of the Labour and Tory parties represent failure.
What about defence, what about this, what about that I hear the English letter writers squeal? I don't doubt the same squeals were to be heard when Czechoslovakia divided a few years ago to become the original Czech republic and the Slovak republic. Both nations flourish and neither has looked back, or when the Soviet Union or Yugoslavia disintegrated. As for those who talk about defence, why should Scotland need armed forces larger than the Irish Republic for example? Having won their independence, does anyone in the 26 Counties of Eire call for reunification? No, of course not and Eire has functioned perfectly well with England for many years now. Scotland has over twice the population of the republic and of course a division of the already dwindling UK forces will occur. That same division of other more relevant resources, such as social security and so on, will also need to be negotiated. Holyrood now controls most other matters anyway.
I just hope that when it comes, there is not the usual and somewhat inevitable English backlash when they see thriving neighbours but remain isolated and inward looking, grasping on to their failing pound currency and locked up in their little part of the island, deeply suspicious of anything European and belittling 'Johnny Foreigner' whilst not opening their eyes to what is happening about them.
Yours, Tam Graham
Dear Ed,
Having observed the situation closely, I have come to the following conclusions.
A large number of humanoid bipeds are appearing in this area recently; they can be spotted by their white skins and lack of clothing.
This leads me to believe that they come from a star system, possibly Alpha Britainii 3, which is known to have a cold, wet climate, a claim substantiated by:
1 Their lack of covering.
2 The need to intake large amounts of liquids, mostly containing alcohol and
3 Pointing to our sun and chattering to each other in their strange language, as if they had never seen a sun before!
These facts convince me that the photo is definitely a spacecraft.
Mr. B. J. Cooper.
