Selfish Spanish holiday-makers have no shame – Yorkshire Post Letters
THE plane returning from Spain lands back in the UK. The engines shut down but the whining continues.
Yes, of course, it’s inconvenient and disruptive to go into quarantine, but don’t these complainers realise the seriousness of the situation?

It seems that a proportion of the population are putting their own pleasure above the common good.
I hope that this selfishness will not carry over into the wearing of face masks.
The sooner we all do the right thing, and keep to the rules and recommendations, the sooner this awful virus will be beaten and life can get back to normal.
From: Paul Morley, Long Preston, Skipton.

Editor’s note: first and foremost - and rarely have I written down these words with more sincerity - I hope this finds you well.
Almost certainly you are here because you value the quality and the integrity of the journalism produced by The Yorkshire Post’s journalists - almost all of which live alongside you in Yorkshire, spending the wages they earn with Yorkshire businesses - who last year took this title to the industry watchdog’s Most Trusted Newspaper in Britain accolade.
