I WOULD like to point out to David Kaye of Kidderminster (You Say, August 13) that I was not attacking the unemployed. I meant that employers should realise that the unemployed need the chance of a job, that they do want to work, and do have a lot to offer.

As he has had a lengthy and successful time in employment, he should be credited with defending those not so fortunate.

But, he should also consider himself lucky as unemployment can and does happen to anyone.
