History repeating itself (Thessaloniki’s liberal mayor set upon by extremists, 21 May). In just under a week’s time on 27 May it will be 55 years since another progressive politician, Grigoris Lambrakis, was attacked and killed by a fascist thug in Thessaloniki.

• I was surprised that “Seven ways to manage anxiety” (G2, 21 May) did not include the benefits of physical activity. Particularly as it appeared next to an article extolling the virtues of the daily mile. Make that number eight!

Lucy Mangan’s review (21 May) of A Very English Scandal extols the direction and acting of that marvellous show without one mention of the outstanding writing of Russell T Davies. As my old pals in Hollywood would say, “it ain’t nothing without the pages”.

• Poor Margaret (Letters, 22 May)! I am pleased though embarrassed to report that my 13 cashmere sweaters are intact after several years. They are zipped in a bag in an occasionally moth-deterrent-sprayed wardrobe. Perhaps they are spoilt for choice … or superstitious.

• Margaret Squires asks what clothes moths eat in the wild. They eat the wool on the carcasses of sheep etc.
