Ben Harvey must be feeling the pressure of age. He writes in defence of older people still able to work effectively. (Sunday Times, 25 April) I fully agree with him. With one proviso:
Nick Lethbridge / Consulting Dexitroboper
Agamedes Consulting / Problems? Solved.

Define "effectively".
He gives an example of John Quigley being asked something. Then, in Ben's words, "You will notice that John answered the question without answering the question. He was able to do that because he is a sharp political operator who knows the law inside-out."
So Ben is happy to have a sharp political operator who disguises his lack of having an answer by speaking in bluffy bullshit. Does Quigley have any effective answers, or is he effectively a bullshitter.
I have no idea how good Quigley really is. Except when it comes to not answering. Perhaps we really need a younger attorney General. One who is actually able to answer the difficult questions. Or at least to have an honest try.
