What are the odds that nothing will be done about either the £726,000 a day salary of Bet365’s founder (Report, 22 November) or the underlying problems in our society that much of this money represents?

• Saddened by Roy Bailey’s death (Obituary, 22 November), I played songs from Freedom Peacefully on our scratchy old LP. His warm, caring voice could have been singing about right now. Where are the political folksingers for today? We need them. I am hoping there will be a fitting tribute on radio or TV to the life, achievements and sparky collaborations of this great man.

• I appreciated your article (Will shrinking aeroplane toilets stop fat people flying?, G2, 20 November), but have to point out that smaller loos on aircraft also pose a problem for parents with small children and for people with a range of disabilities.

• Ian McKellen is taking no fee for his tour of 80 theatres (Letters, 22 November). Each theatre sets their ticket prices so that they can use the funds generated to improve the facilities for their audiences. The suggestion that, at the age of 80, Sir Ian does an encore tour of any length would involve him working even further past the age by which most people would have retired. Some by something like 20 years.

• Tom Jackson (Letters, 22 November) quoted Tam Dalyell as saying “the sky is black with chickens coming home to roost”. This line comes from Alan Bennett’s Habeas Corpus, and is spoken by Mrs Swab.
