I too have not had the opportunity to read J.Farrar's comments and it would be unfair of me to comment further until I have. However, I will say this; in common with most of my fellow townsmen I pride myself on being willing and able to call a spade, a spade. If our views and opinions on the abilities and motives of Cllr. Britcliffe are so wide of the mark and cause sufficient distress that he feels compelled to set his poodle on us then perhaps he might consider taking a leaf out of Cllr. Jones' book and try talking to the people he claims to represent and serve by logging on as himself instead of lurking in the shadows. Or is it that he considers himself above talking to the hoi-polloi whose taxes help keep him in the style to which he has lately become accustomed?

I am sure that if he were to introduce himself to the forum, members would welcome him with our customary warmth and friendliness and would be only too happy to engage him in serious discussion. However, I do not think that it would be adviseable for members to hold their breath while they wait.
