THE Green party candidate (Letters, February 26) blithely says investing in a million green jobs should be an alternative to the cuts.

No mention of what these jobs would be. Presumably another plethora of non-jobs.

Another of her comments was: “The deficit is lower than it has been during most years in the 20th century.” Can the lady please name any year when the deficit was £150 billion? With the local May elections looming, the spurious claims and counter-claims have started in earnest. Watch out for those distended noses of our local politicians telling their little porkies.
