IN the past I have read the comments of Messrs Derbyshire, Schmitt, Howarth and Makara plus a few more. Personally, I think they are doing a good job regarding running the country from their armchairs.

If it wasn't for these few people, who devote part of their time putting pen to paper, in their own way trying to enlighten us about what's going on, wouldn't the BEN Letters Page be boring?
