SIR – In view of Lib Dem MP David Ward’s recent remark in the media described by his leader as crass, stupid, insensitive and offensive, should he consider defecting to George Galloway’s Dis-Respect party, sorry slip of the pen it should be Respect Party without the Dis.

It would only be until the May general election, when hopefully both MPs would be retrospective, in other words consigned to history, and Bradford would get back its self respect.
