Sir, - Who was Terry Prone aiming to enlighten by her "analysis" of Sir Ronnie Flanagan's suicide comment (Opinion, December 17th)? Her column was a piece of inflated punditry on a misjudged outburst which the man himself had retracted.
I buy this newspaper to read analysis, not waves of self-indulgent prose on serious issues, unless they have redeeming features such as wit, sophistication, generosity of spirit, etc. - Yours, etc.,
