Boris Johnson’s bridge proposal

Sir, – Boris Johnson wants a bridge from Northern Ireland to Scotland. So did Fionn Mac Cumhaill, with the remains being the Giant’s Causeway. On the Island of Staffa, Benandonner, the Scottish giant, tore it up.

Can history repeat itself? – Yours, etc,

Sir,- I believe the suggestion to build a bridge between Britain and Ireland is crazy.

The idea of former foreign secretary Boris Johnson misses out on the obvious solution.

Just move the Channel Tunnel to link the two islands off the continental mainland. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Who said that resurgent nationalism and Brexit would be bad things? Between Donald Trump’s wall and Boris Johnson’s bridge, there will be plenty of work for Irish navvies. – Yours, etc,
