Dear Syd,
I note that in last week’s issue the Labour candidate for the West Ward attempted a character assassination upon myself and my wife.
Having made me out to be some sort of monster who wants to punish the guilty instead of treating them to a better life, he accuses me of being biased against people of special needs and disability which is untrue.
I must admit to my shame I was livid at the accusations being made about me and retaliated through social media whereas I should have realised it was a cheap nasty political shot fired by a discredited former political opponent who cannot move on after being defeated in the January by election.
The Labour party seem to believe that dirty tactics such as these will win them electoral success but the general public are appalled at the dirty tricks employed.
Nevertheless despite this attack I wish him every success in whatever he chooses to do after he is defeated again in the current By Election.
The Independent lady who opposes him in the election is by far the better candidate and I feel sure she will run a clean campaign.
Cllr Ken Robson
