Shameful treatment of asylum seekers

Priti Patel and Boris Johnson have surrendered whatever claim to moral leadership they might have had What will the verdict of history be on a country that turns its back so flagrantly upon human rights in general and the right to seek asylum through any available means in particular (Priti Patel to send boats carrying migrants to UK back across Channel, 9 September)? Priti Patel and Boris Johnson will join Donald Trump and Viktor Orbán et al as the embodiment of all that is most repugnant in the rightwing agenda, rejecting definitively any residual claim to moral leadership these once humane countries might have possessed. I doubt that I am alone in telling European friends of the shame I feel at allowing such people to lead my country. Their contribution to the defeat of the democratic ideal should not be underestimated by history. DAVID CRAGG-JAMES _Stonegrave, North Yorkshire_ _• _I am writing to you to express my disgust at Priti Patel’s plans to implement laws for the UK Border Force to allow “pushbacks” in the Channel. I have witnessed and documented pushbacks by the Hellenic Coast Guard while volunteering for rescue charities in Greece. They are never humane or safe, with a hugely increased risk of weak and scared men, women and children who cannot swim entering the water. Continue reading...

The Guardian view on a hidden history of poetry: it depends where you look

An ancient Greek graffito points to an overlooked culture of popular verse Think of ancient Greek verse and what often springs to mind are those great beacons of literary achievement, the epics of Homer, the odes of Pindar, the dramas of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, the lyrics of Sappho. But the canon is only a reflection of the limits of our knowledge; vast swathes of ancient literature do not survive, and there are whole realms of cultural activity that never even got as far as a manuscript, leave alone the opportunity to withstand history’s vicissitudes. New research suggests that there was a substrate of more demotic, more everyday verse that has remained largely invisible to modern eyes. Prof Tim Whitmarsh of the University of Cambridge has examined a short verse that survives not because it was copied down by Byzantine monks, preserved through the medieval age then “rediscovered” in the Renaissance, like much canonical classical literature, but because it was inscribed into semi-precious stones as cameos, and, in one instance, scratched on to a wall as a graffito.
