Possibly the Letters Editor of the SCMP deliberately publishes Pierce Lam’s increasingly hysterical letters in their unadulterated form so that we can get the full beauty of his unique literary style. Or maybe he’s an idiot. But introducing the James Bulger case into a debate about one boy injuring another boy in a football match…

Is the SCMP really so short of letters to publish that it can always find room for the incoherent ranting of Pierce Lam? This time he seems determined to make a more general point about a single incident in an under 12 football match. You won’t be surprised to hear that the player who committed…

I don’t know whether to laugh or scream when reading the nonsense some people write in letter to the SCMP. Cynthia Sze is one of the small group who are occupied on a full-time campaign to remind us of the horrors of Hong Kong’s colonial past. This is ever so slightly undermined by the hysterical…

More enlightened views brought to us by the letters page of the SCMP: Expats have done little to benefit city Recently the concept of Hong Kong’s competitiveness or the competitive edge of Hong Kong has again been quoted in your editorials, for example ("ESF debate merits a conclusion soon", December 28).

Oh dear. The SCMP is still publishing these ridiculous Pierce Lam letters: Migrants in HK need a wake-up call Thasbeeh Mohamed’s letter ("Cantonese-medium local system is unsuitable for expatriate students", December 19) is rife with errors and biased generalisations. Cantonese has always been most local schools’ medium of instruction. If there has been any change…

The SCMP may have been late on to this story, but they do seem to be running with it, albeit with a somewhat sensationalist headline. Britons may be fined, held under new passport rules Citizens on mainland face penalties if stopped while their documents are in HK for renewal Keith Wallis Dec 22, 2011 Britons…
