Dear Editor, So Lord Jones has had yet another swipe at the city he supposedly loves so much?

This is the man that was happy to hammer the final nail in the coffin of MG Rover, putting thousands on the dole and dealing a huge blow to UK manufacturing.

He is also the man who branded us “lazy” and told us all we should take a leaf out of the book of the Polish now he’s branding us all as “stupid” by bemoaning our supposed lack of skills.

I have to say, all this reminds me of an old adage “With a friend like him, who needs enemies?”
