The wheel turns for the Rolling Stones’ butterflies | Brief letters

Why is Emmanuel Macron always described as a "centrist" in the Guardian (Strike chaos sets rail workers on collision course with Macron, 4 April)? He is hellbent on reducing employment rights and taking on the unions. He may be young and his party new on the political scene, but he is a conservative. Why not describe him as such?

" As the Rolling Stones are touring in Britain this year - the 50th anniversary of the founding of Butterfly Conservation (Patrick Barkham's Butterflywatch, 31 March) - the band should give a generous donation to the charity in recognition of the harm they did to thousands of large white butterflies released during their Hyde Park concert to remember Brian Jones.
