Dear editor,
Count me as a reader who appreciates your regular inclusion of Tom Fletcher’s column, which provides clear and articulate observations on our world.
Its inclusion provides a balance of perspectives as befits a credible newspaper, even under the archaic labelling as leftwing or rightwing politics.
Exclusion or narrowing the spectrum of viewpoints would render your coverage of ideas analogous to a chicken with one wing, flapping and squawking in circles, without direction or advancement.
David A. Kelly,
Courtenay
