Racism in politics | A propulsion problem | Joy in education | Salford’s rugby win
Gary Younge’s article on the universal hypocrisy in relation to racism being expressed by both of our main political parties is the most honest and ruthlessly coruscating essay I’ve read since James Baldwin (In Britain’s degraded politics, fighting racism has become a cynical game, 15 March). It should be framed on the walls of every office used by journalists and politicians in the land.

• The propulsion of rockets is described as due to “flames and hot gases, which push against the ground and cause it to travel upwards” (The kids quiz, 9 March). Apart from the grammatical failure, which has the ground moving upwards, what happened to Newton’s laws? Have they been discarded as the work of a dead white male?
