HOW come when a German official, without any evidence, blames the Spanish cucumber for the E.coli outbreak, we all end up paying?

Surely the Spanish should look to Germany for recompense.

A major player in all this is media sensationalism.

Now we will have a shortage and no doubt an increase in prices because of it.

We need cool heads to rule over us, and responsible national reporting. Joe Donnelly, Rock Street, Haslingden.
