Sir, - Did anybody else notice how odd last week was? Builders were incarcerated for wanting to pay taxes

Sir, - Did anybody else notice how odd last week was? Builders were incarcerated for wanting to pay taxes. Conor Cruise O'Brien suggested unionists might be better off in a united Ireland. Sinn Fein outpolled the PDs. Ginger Spice became a UN ambassador and Paul Gascoigne gave up the booze. How reassuring it was to have our protesting farmers on the streets again. - Yours, etc., John Devlin,
