INSENSITIVE and patronising! Two words that summed up Tony Blair when Evening Press chief reporter Mike Laycock asked him three questions about unemployment in York, Terry's and Nestl (March 20).

How would he feel if any of his family had become unemployed from working at any of these firms? He had nothing constructive to say and just dismissed it.

I hope he regrets it later or he will get a rude awakening at the next election.
