Protest songs of the 1960s were not all doom and gloom (‘By 10, I knew all about the impact of a nuclear blast’: growing up in the shadow of the bomb, 16 March). We kept our spirits up with songs like Leon Rosselson’s great satire on government guidance, Stand Firm: “To prove to the aggressor that free men will be free / Crouch down in your hidey holes, make lots of pots of tea / If you’re caught out in the open, duck behind a tree.”

• A page for the over-70s (Letters, 21 March)? What a good idea – you could bring back the women’s page as well. And while you’re at it, how about a page for people with disabilities, ethnic minorities and LGBTQ people? That would leave the rest of the paper for working-age straight white men so they don’t have to trouble themselves with issues that don’t concern them.
