Unfair to impose labels on Kingston

THE EDITOR, Madam:

A bit unfair to impose labels on Kingston. Look at some other countries capital cities and they are much much worse. England – cramped, dirty and riddled with violence that makes Kingston look like a beacon of respectability. China – wall to wall tower blocks and pollution you can almost cut through. India – surrounded by squalor unparalleled anywhere else. Look around the world and our capital is not as bad as it labelled.
