May I suggest to the Department for Work and Pensions that it applies common sense and human compassion when dealing with vulnerable and disabled people (Court rules universal credit treated disabled unlawfully, 30 January). I don’t think it needs a serious case panel to tell it that.

• Adrian Chiles is absolutely right about the bonding significance of football chat (G2, 30 January). Years ago, in the days when I had hair, I used to go to a very nice barber whose only topic of conversation was Blackburn Rovers FC. I don’t do football at all, but I found that I had to read the football pages of the newspaper assiduously for a week or so before a planned appointment just so I could keep up.

• Readers are upset by Gary Lineker’s BBC salary of £1.75m (Letters, 30 January). Ant and Dec on ITV get £10m a year between them. And they annoy the hell out of me!
