After reading Allan Gatt's letter on the passing away of Mike Bongiorno my first reaction was, at last, the voice of sanity.

It was a pleasure to come across a clearly independent thinker who tries to comment on facts objectively, in my opinion of course.

Let me remind readers that one of Mr Bongiorno's "qualities" was his naïveté. Why else would he have allowed himself to be used by Silvio Berlusconi for all these years, only to be discarded like a squeezed lemon when he was no longer useful to the Cavaliere?

Mr Bongiorno humiliated himself in an interview with Fabio Fazio begging Mr Berlusconi to pick up the phone and call him, which, of course, he never did.
