The campaign for compensation for the victims of the Equitable Life fiasco received some seasonal good news this week as Ann Abraham, the parliamentary ombudsman, set out for the first time the detailed parameters of her investigation into the government's regulation of the troubled society.

Others are probably just bored with the whole complicated subject, which seems to have more twists and turns than Muttiah Muralitheran's bowling arm.
