BURSTOther Lives obituaries | Shame on the BBC | Pan frying | Air fried | Inquiring minds | Pre-existent state
Page after page of horrors in the Guardian these days, but for reading to lift one’s spirits, go to the Other Lives pages. These record the wonderful people who for decades have shown the other side of humanity – teachers, community activists, and voluntary workers at home and abroad.
