Page after page of horrors in the Guardian these days, but for reading to lift one’s spirits, go to the Other Lives pages. These record the wonderful people who for decades have shown the other side of humanity – teachers, community activists, and voluntary workers at home and abroad.

So the BBC believes in demonstrating impartiality between the perpetrators of genocide and their victims (BBC drops Gaza medics documentary over impartiality concerns, 20 June). In doing so, it despoils a fine reputation and should be deeply ashamed.Bob Marshall-AndrewsLabour MP, 1997-2010
Simon Barley I think pan frying is more of a cultural signifier (Letters, 22 June). The person who eats something pan-fried clearly isn’t the sort of person who would regularly eat fried food (chicken nuggets, for example). They also favour sous-vide while shunning boil in the bag, and will happily read magical realism while giving the fantasy shelves a wide berth.Nigel SteelUxbridge, London

So the BBC believes in demonstrating impartiality between the perpetrators of genocide and their victims (BBC drops Gaza medics documentary over impartiality concerns, 20 June). In doing so, it despoils a fine reputation and should be deeply ashamed. How about “pre-existing” ailment (Letters, 23 June)? Actually, it means “before it existed”.Dr Dennis Hawkins Leominster, Herefordshire
