Letters to the Indepedent I considered sending in today

Dear Sir,
On a day that two children died in Corfu, the planned quota forcing faith schools to accept more different faith children is dropped and 60 civilians are reported as killed in Nato raids you chose to open the first five pages of your newspaper with your green paper on climate change. Fantastic stuff, I'll be sure to remember to vote for you next time around.
Yours,

Dear Sir,
My copy of the Independent dated October 26th lacked any news on pages one through five. Was this meant to be the case or should I be asking for a refund?

Dear Sir,
If your definition of news as "newly received or noteworthy information, esp. about recent or important events" changes overnight does it therefore cease to be your job to let us know of this new information? I'm assuming yes.

Dear Sir,
For years I've been stuck playing the Daily Mail game¹ with just the Daily Mail, thank you for now making it possible with another newspaper
Yours,

Dear Sir,
Am glad to see you that you have embraced the medium of the weblog, but is the first five pages of your newspaper really the best place for it?
Yours,

¹ Scrounge (never ever buy) a copy of the Daily Mail. Go through it and count the number of positive 'this-is-good-news' headlines. Award yourself a point every time you find one. If you score more than five points then, well, look it just won't happen okay? The lowest I've scored is 1 and that was titled "Finally, some good news!".
