Letters

• Jock can make a big difference

  I READ in the South Wales Argus that ex-Detective Chief Superintendent Ian ‘Jock’ Johnston is to stand for the post of Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner. I served with Jock Johnstone when we were both Constables and saw him rise through the ranks. I can assure readers that if there is a man for this job, it has to be Ian Johnston. His experience cannot be questioned, he’s been there done it and has the T-shirt to prove it. read more

• No confidence gets my vote

  IN RESPONSE to Norman Jones’s letter (June 19), I disagree with the first part of his letter where he is suggesting that voters do not vote at all. read more

• Mess offends pedestrians

  I THANK Gerry S Rose not only for defending Brian Donovan but also for his splendid use of the English language (June 20). I think I will pass on his kind offer to accompany him on his illegal dog-poo spotting adventures but perhaps Brian Donovan could act as substitute. read more

• Elected Head is Way Forward

  NEITHER smugly satisfied Jan Preece paying her service to earlier traditions, nor Bob Urie who is proudly delighted with the Royals as good advertising copy, deeply involved in show business, addresses the issue, and Walt Jackson is somewhat patronising in a recent reference to my wife and I. read more

• Churches loss a great shame

  IT WAS sad to read of another traditional church, St Mary’s, Malpas, experiencing financial problems. Several weeks ago I wrote of the upsurge of the modern style Victory Church in Cwmbran, where money seems no problem. This Americanised showbiz, razzmatazz type of religion draws the people in, but I have found it rather superficial. read more
