Next time: the presidential motorcade to be Morris Minor Travellers (Letters, passim).Jonathan StanleyGodmanchester, Cambridgeshire • After the terrible visit of the misogynistic President Trump it was pleasant to see the Guardian celebrating the birthdays of 20 women out of a total of 33 people (14 July).Ann LynchSkipton, North Yorkshire • It is distressing that only 1% of children’s books feature a BAME protagonist (Report, 17 July). Perhaps while authors, both existing and potential, sharpen their pens, publishers should look at their back lists and make books such as The Runaways by Ruth Thomas, anything by the splendid Petronella Breinburg and many books by Bernard Ashley, available again.Jane LawsonLondon • “Gordon Bennett” is on the Llangollen Canal (Letters, 16 July)? I shall rush down forthwith! Please tell Ian Grieve I’ll be wearing a red rose and carrying a copy of yesterday’s Guardian. When I moved back to Wales from London, I forfeited forever the chance to meet the mythical Keith Flett, but now that Gordon Bennett is in Welsh territorial waters, perhaps I stand a chance to bag at least one regular Guardian correspondent.Fiona CollinsCarrog, Sir Ddinbych • Your photograph of a badger (Brush with wonder, 16 July ) reminded me of my uncle, Mark Fisher. He was a warden in the Lake District for many years and rescued a young badger which he reared and kept in his family home. He took it out for walks in the woods most days when it visited the local badger set and make contact with its badger relations. However, it always followed my uncle home again. It lived in a cupboard at the top of the stairs, where it peered through the open door, making visitors somewhat nervous on a trip to the bathroom.Jane PowerCarharrack, Cornwall • Join the debate – email guardian.letters@theguardian.com • Read more Guardian letters – click here to visit gu.com/letters Motoring Brief letters Feminism Women Children and teenagers Race Wales Badgers letters Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via Email Share on LinkedIn Share on Pinterest Share on Google+ Share on WhatsApp Share on Messenger Reuse this content |
