Renaissance man Cameron is now telling the film industry how to do its job (Editorial, 12 January). If he had been in charge at the time, I wonder which horse he would have backed in a choice between, say, Raise the Titanic and Gregory's Girl, Revolution and The Full Monty or Greystoke and Secrets & Lies. Given his judgment over Andy Coulson, I suspect he might not have picked the winners.

• If Michael Gove is going to make it easier for headteachers to get rid of "underperforming teachers" (Report, 14 January), will he also make it easier for schools to get rid of rotten heads?

• Presumably Michael Gove's new measures have been designed to get rid of all the worn-out teachers in their mid-60s who have been denied their pensions, yet find they just haven't the energy to do the job as well as they used to. It's sad to think teachers like me may no longer be rewarded for a lifetime of good service with a presentation in the staffroom, but by a humiliating sacking.

• Was The Iron Lady given a 12A rating (Film, 6 January) because it's considered unsuitable for miners?
