I AM disgusted at the government's decision to slaughter thousands of grey squirrels in order to protect the endangered red of the species (ECHO, January 21).
Who are we to interfere with nature? Who's to say that the red squirrel has more of a right to life than the grey? I am a real animal lover but it is not up to us which animals get to live and which must die.
I'm horrified that these lovely little innocent things will be "shot, poisoned or trapped" so the red species can continue to thrive.
I WAS amazed and saddened to learn that the city authorities are turning their backs on the historic warships at Birkenhead.
I, along with 50 of my ex-Royal Navy friends, spent an excellent weekend in your wonderful city and visited the ships in April 2005. We were planning to come back again in September 2006 but this might not now happen.
These ships, especially HMS Plymouth, are part of the modern history of our country, being the ship on which the Argentinians surrendered at the end of the Falklands war.

WELL done to the ECHO for highlighting the plight of construction workers in this city.
Surely, with all the building work that is going on in Liverpool today all of our local lads should have no problem finding work.
However, it galls me that this is not the case and I think Liverpool council should do something about it urgently.
