Lies, damned lies and drunken men using lamp posts | Letters

Facebook certainly does have a lot to answer for in the way it responds to sexist abuse (MPs lead national campaign against sexist abuse online, 26 May). I often get abusive, misogynistic messages on my Facebook page from complete strangers and these are frequently accompanied by penis pictures. When I complain, the response I get is that these messages do not contravene their "community standards". Yet a tasteful photo of me breastfeeding my baby was removed, because Facebook doesn't allow female nipples (male nipples are fine).

" The Treasury committee (MPs' report condemns 'misleading' EU referendum campaigns, theguardian.com, 27 May) seems to have come to the same conclusion as RD Laing who summed up the use of statistics as follows: "Statistics should be used as a drunken man uses lamp posts - for support rather than illumination." We can only guess what he would have concluded about the state of the various politicians who have been abusing statistics in the last few weeks.
