Insults abounded throughout the meeting, lots of them personal which were extremely amusing (he does have a dry sense of humour.. should be a stand up comedian).
Don't think accusing this lady Councillor of not being able to string three words together is a big deal (my goodness, three, that many ! ..  ) only banter, just the 'Silly Cow' bit. More mouthed than anything. Seemed all part of the proceedings to me. Wasn't said heatedly at all .. just an aside. Perhaps he should have been a little more careful, but was said in an amusing way.
Said it before, but Graham Jones ignored his gibes all night .. and just got on with it.. best way.

I agree totally Katex. I think my point wasn't the fracas itself which was a particularly low part of a discusion (which your right, I thought was childish at times and ignored).
My point was when acused, Clr Britcliffe said he never said it 'not in his vocabulary', and 30-40 people did actually hear/see him say it.
It's the constant lies. No-one is holding him to account.
Wynonnie, Teabags, JaySay are entitled to their opinion. I don't share it. Perhaps if they attended the meetings their personal criticisms would carry more weight and they could meet Labour members in person.
