GORDON Brown’s disingenuous evidence to the Chilcot Inquiry has been rightly denounced by retired military chiefs and contradicted by a senior civil servant, all of whom were well placed to know the truth and are now free to speak out.

REGARDING the front page on March 9 (about bike theft) I am not surprised. It is well known that cycle theft is rife in this town. The public is being asked to use cars less and cycle more, but if you take a good bike into town it is very likely to be stolen.

I WAS sorry to read in your report in the Advertiser of Friday, March 5, that the Octagon Restaurant may be demolished to make way for a new redevelopment.

SO R W Selway will no doubt be ditching the Monster Raving Loony Party and transferring his allegiance to the United Kingdom Independence Party.

I AM writing to ask you, to put a big thank you to whoever posted my Driving Licence, Donor Card, Railcard and a couple of store cards to me, which I received this morning.

I WOULD like to thank Peter Timms for the reference to his book In and around Swindon 1930-60 and I am now reading a copy of it. Although I never worked “inside”, as a Swindonian I have always been interested in its history. I noticed that a long standing, good friend of mine, Roy Hazel, had his picture shown with the cricket team. Further to Peter Timms last letter, I would like just to point out that Lily Watts gained her certificate at Sanford Street Girls’ Evening Class and sponsored by the GWR Mechanics’ Institute.

I WAS pleased to read in today’s Adver (March 9) that Forward Swindon Ltd, unlike the former New Swindon Company, will take account of the needs of the whole town and be run by local people in its regeneration work. I do hope, though, that local ownership of the company won’t limit its access to national and regional sources of money.

HAVING read the article from Rikki Hunt (SA March 10) one could be forgiven for thinking he had discovered the Holy Grail and not simply purloined a mature technology and offered it alongside a business plan. In attempting to present the Swindon Wi Fi project alongside really important, innovative and revolutionary projects such as the GWR Hospital, the railways etc Rikki is really engaging in overstating his case into the realms of hyperbole.

ALTHOUGH ready to attack Robert Feal-Martinez over his recent letter re climate change I see very few alternative suggestions from Andrew Day as to what else may be the cause. So far as the UKIP is concerned we believe there is scant evidence to suggest the cause is all man made, we know that we must continue with coal, nuclear and other power stations as "alternative energy sources" are, by themselves, an expensive and unworkable option in our increasingly energy dependent world and that our view is supported by many scientists around the globe.

On Sunday, March 14 my wife, I and a number of like-minded people are passing through your town on the way to a charity fund raising event. We will be travelling by motorcycle as will all the others, with the purpose of gathering and giving away money to a charity organisation who look after the mothers and families of the brave young men and women who make the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
