Education, AI and postal services – readers' letters, plus a shock FA Cup defeat in 1960

Roshan is right on education

Doctor Roshan Doug is spot on with his article about the blatant feminisation of our education system. We really have to stop this positive discrimination in favour of females and allow fair play.

I worked in companies where women have ganged together to push men out, with the blessing of the ultra feminised HR department.

If we do not have a level playing field we are doomed.

I saw this same problem with education in Australia decades ago, with many reports highlighting the growing influence of the feminine brain in education. Also happening in USA with men being cancelled for 'a hurty word', because it did not suit the females. Sorry lads discussion is now banned.

We’ll apologise one day for AI

Can I just say here and now, that as with slavery, I personally have and had nothing to do with AI and think it should be gotten rid of as soon as possible. The sooner it is consigned to history the better.

It’s just that I can see at some future time when AI has wreaked havoc upon us and we have finally (it is to be hoped!) defeated it, then the moronic individuals of the generation who facilitated AI’s power and encouraged it, will be calling for us all, even those who opposed it, to apologise to future generations for the disasters it has wrought.

History warning to politicians

To all the politicians who come within the brackets of (liars cheats plotters fiddlers skivers back pocket fillers philanders dreamers two faced u-turners backbone less individuals) who in all parties who have ruined this once beautiful country.

Remember, remember the fifth of November.

Where has post service gone?

I have great concerns regarding our local Royal Mail delivery services. I am not sure when this change happened as I was away from mid May until end of August. The services were very reliable and friendly in the past. However since my return I noticed huge difference. In late September I booked a collection service but it was not collected. So I booked again for the following day. It was not collected.

Then in early October my parcel was delivered to the neighbour on a different street. Fortunately we know each other. The neighbour kindly delivered my parcel on his mobility scooter.

I made complaint but I was advised that no feedback can be given by the local depot on each individual case. Now we haven’t had postal delivery for three days.
