Boris Johnson compared Ukraine’s struggle to Brexit (Please don’t compare Ukraine to Brexit, Petro Poroshenko asks Boris Johnson, 23 March). A better comparison is with the Boer war, where (in this case two) smaller countries fought for their independence, which the mighty Albion did not grant them. All of Europe was in favour of the Boers, but nobody dared to go to war against the English.

• So Adrian Chiles picked up Covid in Swansea (My daughter says it’s uncool to get Covid now. So, naturally, I got the dreaded second red line, 24 March). Did he by any chance pass through Felindre? Because I’ve got it too.
