‘Disgraceful attack on our brave soldiers’ Royston Jones’ letter (Your Say, January 9) is a disgraceful attack on our brave soldiers. It displays a woeful ignorance of military training and a prejudiced view of recruitment. To say that the Army is “preying on vulnerable teenagers”, and that the military are spying on teenagers who are “binge drinkers, social media addicts and gym fanatics” is… → Read More

Every day we hear that crime is increasing year on year. How can the authorities take action to combat these crimes?
