SIR – The release of the five yachtsmen, captured by the Iranians, is to be welcomed – but don’t you feel very envious of their obviously highly efficient border controls? If only we had such efficiency around our shores, instead of being “open-shop” to all and sundry.
After witnessing the appalling recent abuse of our immigration system, I am now a firm believer in some “gun-boat” diplomacy of our own – that is if we are to survive as an independent nation.
I don’t blame the Iranians for one minute for their actions.
