Younge writing on racism best since Baldwin

Gary Younge’s article on the universal hypocrisy in relation to racism being expressed by both of our main political parties is the most honest and ruthlessly coruscating essay I’ve read since James Baldwin (In Britain’s degraded politics, fighting racism has become a cynical game, 15 March). It should be framed on the walls of every office used by journalists and politicians in the land.

• The propulsion of rockets is described as due to “flames and hot gases, which push against the ground and cause it to travel upwards” (The kids quiz, 9 March).

Here are three ways Labour can bring it back, 29 February), might I suggest a touch of nominative determinism? Why not colleges of fervour education?
