I was at a meeting in the students union at the University of Manchester in 1961 which was addressed by Oswald Mosley, accompanied by his son Max (Report, 1 March). They marched into the hall, which was full, in a commanding manner. Not surprisingly most of the students were very antagonistic to Mosley, particularly when he said that, unlike his son who was at Oxford, we were all at a second-rate university.

• It is right to acknowledge David Edgar’s acting prowess (Letters, 27 February). While performing at Birmingham’s Arts Lab in Gareth Owen’s 1975 football-themed play Penalty, I was the nightly recipient of a crunching (slow-motion) on-stage tackle from the writer.

• My first reaction on seeing “LGBT” is always to think of an LBT sandwich with added gherkin (Letters, 27 February). LGBTQ, being top-of-the-range, clearly also contains quinoa.

• Suzanne Moore asks why we didn’t call out Bill Clinton before Monica Lewinsky had to (Journal, 1 March). The brilliant Joan Smith did call him out, loud and clear, in her 1989 book Misogynies.

• At primary school in York in the 1960s, we were taught “Rowntree’s of York give best in value” to remember the colours of the rainbow (Letters, 1 February). Of particular relevance to me as my mum packed After Eights at the factory.
