Another day, another abhorrent brutality in Gaza

And so it goes, another day, another atrocity, another Israeli order for Palestinians to move, another explosion, another pile of bodies, another slight furrowing of the brow (A game of football, a boom, then scattered bodies: video shows moment of Israeli strike on Gaza school, 11 July). And weapons keep coming and the pilot lands their shiny fighter jet and the missile commander chalks up another kill. By any standards this is an appallingly abhorrent brutality, but it’s just another day and so it goes.

• I read with some trepidation that Tim Dowling had graciously handed over his own keys when his wife misplaced hers (6 July). No doubt he was wondering where his wife’s keys might have been, but a look back to his musings from 22 January 2011 might have helped. On that occasion, when Tim’s own keys went missing, he found them in her coat pocket.

• I wish to point out that England have already won the Euros (Starmer raises hopes of extra bank holiday if England win Euros, 11 July), and have played in a World Cup final. Can the Guardian demand that we women have our public holiday now?

• In making his travel plans, Jim Golcher (Letters, 9 July) might like to know that both Cymru and Kernow are Tory-free zones.
