How Madam Daphne Caruana Galizia (Notes from the circus-ring, TMID, 16 October) can ridicule such an esteemed person as Edward de Bono beggars’ belief.

His Thinking outside the box and Lateral thinking are now world famed.

He is one of the great thinkers of our age and I am sorry Madam but you don’t enter that sphere.

Added to that, in your article, you then proceeded to write off half the population of these isles. Let me assure you “Ms’’ that I have met with many well-educated and intelligent young and older people here that could give good argument for this wonderful country becoming the Palace of Thinking.

Given the chance that is.

Start thinking outside that boring box of yours.
