Letter: Business bashing
OF ALL the things he should be complaining about right now, it’s strange that Lord Digby Jones should choose to attack The Apprentice for giving a misleading idea of what really happens in the business world (your report, 20 April).
Yes, the programme – like the soaps he mentioned – presents a “simplistic” version of what really goes on but it’s not “damaging”, as he claims.
Most sensible people will realise that it’s about as accurate a depiction of day-to-day commerce as Big Brother is of what happens in your average household.
