Dear Editor,
Dilly Bradley's reply in your paper last week to the leader of the Somerset Council's litany of salient facts did not address a single one but she did quote a book from her childhood "How to lie with Statistics" that she must have thought was good enough.
Her long column made many claims, but all were the usual generalisations without a shred of evidence.

Your paper is full of the excellent A-level results of local students, but I feel that if Dilly Bradley's piece had been part of an A-level answer, it would have forced the examiner to wheel out the dire terms 'wooly minded and waffle' too many times.
'Answer the question and where are the facts?' would have summed up the piece.'
Must try harder.
Kind regards
Nigel Griffin
