Emotional baggage
Sir,
Please can I suggest you add a warning to the packaging of future editions that include on the front cover the 47th US president and/or other esteemed members of the federal government of the United States. Having to strategically conceal the magazine in one’s hand luggage before border control is terribly tiresome, and slightly stressful for fear of being questioned.

Covered in glory
Sir,
I can usually take or leave your cover illustrations, which neither upset nor amuse me, though I thought the Boris Johnson disgusting toilet seat one was a bit too adolescent. Talking of which, Eye 1646 – best cover EVER! Laughed out loud the second I saw it. I hope it really miffs off those concerned.

Trump and circumstance
Sir,
Flunkey’s brief assessment of the dilemma’s facing a Trump state visit (Court Circular, p6, Eye 1646) has overlooked a small logistical difficulty. I invite you to recall Bush’s state visit which he made during the Iraq war. On that day, I found myself on the streets of London in the company of a couple of hundred thousand others protesting about his presence.
In the event, his “procession” consisted of his helicopter landing in Buck House gardens, where he transferred into a limo which drove him round the building for him to enter through the front door. They didn’t dare subject him to an angry mob in the streets of the capital. What sort of reception do you expect the good citizens of the UK to offer Mr Trump?
