SO WE are again to be deprived of a band to entertain us. Your front page last week. Louts seem to be running this country now and with the shootings lately, who is to stop it? The police? I don't think so. The only time I ever see a policeman or woman is driving around in cars. Never do we see a copper on the beat. Why? Well one can only assume they wish to keep out of the way in case of trouble.My father was a policeman, over six feet tall and built like an ox and he was on the beat. No-one bothered to taunt him or cause problems when he was to be seen. So now it's yob rule. How long will it be before someone says 'enough'? Police, come on, show your presence and let the people that pay your salaries get some value out of all the money it is costing us.DAVE HUTCH - via email
