Re: Councillor's sons jailed, victim says she'll sue

I agree that this father should have kept his mouth shut......I think that when he said he was proud of his sons, it didn't refer to their actions in this case....it meant in general.....though I feel it was an innappropriate comment at the time.

And I think that his position in the LCC is not weakened, because most of the people that he represents will judge him on his work within the LCC, rather than the soundbites and media coverage of this court case.

I haven't seen any adverse comments about his work for LCC or seen any calls for his resignation, based on this court case.
