PETER Redstone (Letters, October 27) uses the language of the playground when he bleats "that he could do Mike Connolly's job but he won't!"

This is "my dad's bigger than your dad" stuff!

What Coun Redstone should be doing is putting forward alternative policies for the voters to make their minds up about, then we'll see whether he's up to the job or not. I suspect not!
