           <description><![CDATA[
  SIR – After a long absence, the Labour party has at last made a policy statement to the effect that they would like to achieve ‘full employment’, an ambition which I am sure is shared by every other party, large or small, but is in fact totally unrealistic and almost certainly unattainable with continued unlimited inward migration from the EU distorting the labour market here.

           <description><![CDATA[
  SIR – In the article “Vital role played by local press” (T&amp;A, May 15) editor Perry Austin-Clarke stated that “we do believe our readers know and appreciate the work of the T&amp;A, and recognise our support of the Bradford district.”

           <description><![CDATA[
  SIR – Re Mr Watson’s letter (Money poorly spent? T&amp;A Letters, May 17), to criticise new pedestrian lights on Valley Road due to Green Lane/Otley Road Baildon junction not as yet having traffic lights shows a typical dog in the manger attitude on his part. “If we can’t have a safer junction why should Valley Road have lights?”

           <description><![CDATA[
  SIR – Calling the other day for fuel at the Pool filling station, how refreshing it was to be politely asked by an attendant on the forecourt how much I required and asked to go into the kiosk and pay while he topped it up, a very civilised operation. I could not recollect when this happened to me last – probably in the Sixties.

           <description><![CDATA[
  SIR – Jason Smith’s claim that UKIP supports tax cuts for all (Letters, May 16) means that hard-working people get crumbs while the idle rich get the cream. UKIP’s policy also means that there would be less money available to spend on vital services such as education and the NHS.

           <description><![CDATA[
  SIR – I note John Hall’s letter in response to my view that in many respects I consider UKIP’s views to be the right ones. He did not mention the opposition to the high-speed rail venture which UKIP are against, and that only days after my letter a Parliamentary committee spotted a £3.5 billion gap in funding, not to mention a very poor business case.

           <description><![CDATA[
  SIR – I would just like the opportunity to clarify the situation with regard to UKIP candidates standing at the next General Election. Contrary to various articles, there are no current plans for UKIP to stand aside for Tory candidates at the next election, irrespective of whether that MP is euro-sceptic or not.

           <description><![CDATA[
  SIR – I share Brian Holmans’s negative view of companies like Starbucks using creative accounting to limit any UK taxes they pay (Letters, May 1), but the real fault lies with successive governments, of all parties, in developing a tax system of such monumental complexity that loopholes are inevitable. And legal loopholes will always be exploited by the unprincipled, not just the rich.

  SIR – I do not currently drive, but travel on the roads of Bradford. The quality is getting worse, due to the bad winter we have had. The potholes are bigger, deeper and there are more of them. I appreciate it is a very expensive process, and I have come up with an idea that could generate more income.
