I AM so pleased to hear that finally female council employees are set to receive their long overdue equal pay claims after years of discrimination against them. (Evening Times May 31)
Justice in this case has been duly served.
Well done ladies. You deserve to reap what should have been yours right from the beginning!

Who will pay?
READING about the overdue pay claims to be paid out, it makes you wonder what is going to get cut to pay this £50 million.
Hopefully it’s not children or the elderly that will suffer due to this massive financial burden the council is going to go through.

Shame on Sheriff
READING about the man who got three years for switching off a baby’s equipment in hospital and assaulting another child by banging his head, once again the judiciary failed miserably.
This man should have been locked up for at least 10 years.
Shame on Sheriff Crozier.

Same mistakes
HOW many more people have to be hurt or killed by wild animals kept in confinement before we accept that these animals do not belong in captivity?
Every year, we see – yet still fail to learn – that caging them brings tragedy to both them and humans.
No amount of time in a zoo, circus, or marine park can take away their natural instincts, and denying them the chance to engage in any of the activities that give their life meaning is torment for them – so it can hardly come as a surprise that many lash out when they get the opportunity.
As long as we continue to treat wild animals as living exhibits, it’ll only be a matter of time before we’re talking about the next victim of a captive-animal attack.

More funding
I’M deeply appalled to hear about at the high increase in female rapes/attacks.
It must be the highest percentage for many years.
This however does not surprise me as the responsibility lays with our now prime minister who cut our police forces by the thousands .
It's time Mrs May started finding funding for extra police to the amount she cut.
