SIR – What a surprise, a left-wing rant against the Queen by a teacher; no wonder today’s youth knows nothing about our history or heritage.

What does he think the Queen costs when everything is taken into account, ie, wages, outgoings, tourism, etc? Very little, when the benefits cost of Bradford is £450 million and hundreds of millions is doled out to any Tom, Dick or Harry around the world.

The Queen, who has not put a foot wrong in her long reign, seems like very good value.

I suggest he watches Saints and Scroungers or Jeremy Kyle to see what 40 years of left wing dogma has brought this once great country of ours into.
