Lisa Nandy describes the BBC’s failures as “catastrophic” (Tim Davie admits ‘significant failing’ by BBC over Gaza documentary, 14 July), though as far as I am aware she has not disputed the accuracy of the content of Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone. What adjective does she apply to the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians, many of them children?

• What those responding to George Monbiot (Letters, 15 July) fail to grasp is that it is not about whether the target of the “joke” is on the right or the left; it is about whether they have power and privilege or not. The “jokes” that Monbiot described are all aimed at those who are disadvantaged in some way; that is what makes them toxic.
