REGARDING your article (LET, March 8) on asylum seekers getting cookery lessons, what does Councillor Paul Browne, leader of the Lib-Dems, mean, when he says: "We need to make sure asylum seekers aren't seen to be getting things other people don't?"
Surely, this means that they are.
I also read your article on pensioner poverty. Surely, pensioners who have paid into the system all their lives must be given priority over asylum seekers. As the fourth richest nation in the world, one must ask what is all the money being spent, on because it certainly is not education or health.
