'Charlie Kirk's death at 31 is a profound loss. He galvanized young conservatives, challenging leftist narratives with fearless clarity' - Your Letters: September 13

Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist and Turning Point US founder, tragically assassinated in Utah, was both an admirer and critic of the UK.

He revered Britain’s historical contributions, Shakespeare, the steam engine, victories over tyranny, alongside many others, crediting them as roots of Western greatness.

He saw Brexit as a bold step toward sovereignty and stronger UK-US ties. Yet, Charlie was troubled by Britain’s present, warning of immigration chaos, eroding free speech via the Online Safety Act, and a drift from national identity, calling the UK a cautionary tale for America.

His death at 31 is a profound loss. He galvanized young conservatives, challenging leftist narratives with fearless clarity. His assassination during a campus event underscores the risks faced by bold voices.

May his call to preserve Western values inspire us, and may he rest in peace.

WE ARE FACING DIGITAL OVERLOAD

Having overheard someone say that they were sick and tired of having to do things online, I wonder if we are beginning to see the first signs of digital overload, and that people are beginning to resent the amount of time that they are having to spend in front of a screen in order to complete day to day tasks?

Is the novelty of the digital revolution beginning to wear off? Add to this the frustration and anger when the technology does not work and you have a problem. I hope that we are beginning to see the start of a backlash against a digital-only future.

VIEWS ON FARAGE STILL OFF MARK

Oh my goodness Roger Watts l have missed your letter's to the editor. 

You run Nigel Farage down again. Yawn! 

Don't you understand why he now has millions of people who support him? 

We need change we need someone in charge who loves our country.

We need someone who deals with the most concerning thing for most people.

There are illegal immigrants coming here who we know nothing about and we don't know whether they are friend or foe. 

There are far too many coming and the cost of looking after them has spiralled out of control. 

We need someone in this country who is not afraid to tell the truth. We need Nigel Farage.

Carol Owens, Coven
