I haven't been at the planning meetings, but if the controlling group have been abusing Graham then that's wrong. There is no reason why Graham should come here and abuse and discredit a member of the public though, it's not justifiable. Perhaps Peter and Graham are as bad as each other, I don't know, what I do know is it's Graham who's then going on to try to discredit me, which is especially surprising if he doesn't like it being done to him at council.

No one has said that Graham dislikes it being done to him, as he is very capable of standing his corner, just pointing out that certain high ranking Tory members are abusing Graham in public and then doing exactly what they have accused him of an hour later.
